Abstract:

The volume Questions in Discourse - Vol. 2 Pragmatics collects original
research on the role of questions in understanding text structure and
discourse pragmatics. The in-depth studies discuss the effects of focus,
questions and givenness in unalternative semantics, as well as the role of
scalar particles, question-answer pairs and prosody from the perspective of
Questions under Discussion. Two contributions compare the
discourse-structuring potential of Questions under Discussion and rhetorical
relations, whereas another adds a perspective from inquisitive semantics. Some
contributions also look at understudied languages. Together, the contributions
allow for a better understanding of question-related pragmatic and
discourse-semantic phenomena, and they offer new perspectives on the structure
of texts and discourses.
