Abstract:

The volume Questions in Discourse - Vol. 1 Semantics contains a comprehensive
overview of the semantic analysis of questions and their role in structuring
discourse, next to a series of in-depth contributions on individual aspects of
question meanings. 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.
