Meeting Description: 

It is well-known that beyond their default association with standard questions
acts (Searle 1969), interrogative clauses can be employed for a wide variety
of ''special'' uses. These have been classified, among others, as rhetorical,
expository, reflective, surprise-and-disapproval, reprise, exam and quiz
questions (cf., e.g., Truckenbrodt 2004). It is also well-known that such
special uses can be signaled by special grammatical means − prosody, word
order, particles etc. − giving rise to ''special interrogatives'' in many
languages (cf., e.g., Obenauer 2006).
