The expert contributions offer novel accounts of semantic phenomena such as negation and biased questions, question embedding, exhaustivity, disjunction in alternative questions, and superlative quantification particles in questions. Some accounts are modelled in the framework of inquisitive semantics, whereas others employ alternative semantics, and yet others point to the discourse-structuring potential of marked questions. All contributions are easily accessible against the background of the general introduction. Together, they give an excellent overview of current trends in question semantics.Current Research in the Semantics / Pragmatics Interface35.Grammar, Comparative and generalInterrogativeInterrogative (Grammar)Question (Logic)Grammar, Comparative and generalInterrogative.Interrogative (Grammar)Question (Logic)401/.43Heusinger Klaus vonZimmermann Malte1970-Onea Gáspár EdgarNL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910954366703321Questions in discourse4322269UNINA01305nas 2200409 c 450 991089577250332120230110185750.0(CKB)1000000000723425(OCoLC)867160613(OCoLC)725183733(DE-101)1006413510(DE-599)ZDB2571562-8(MiAaPQ)626460(EXLCZ)99100000000072342520100901b20002015 |y |lavur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierRīgas Tehniskās universitātes zinātniskie rakstiSērija 6Mašīnzinātne un transports =Scientific proceedings of Riga Technical University.
