Linguistic Field(s): Philosophy of Language; Pragmatics; Semantics 

Meeting Description: 

The InqBnB workshop series, hosted by the inquisitive semantics group at the
Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) in Amsterdam, brings
together researchers working on inquisitive semantics and closely related
topics. 

We are particularly interested in research that studies the
semantics/pragmatics of questions and other inquisitive constructions, and in
work investigating expressions which interact with the meaning of questions in
interesting ways. 

This includes (but is not limited to) contributions addressing the following
topics:

- What are the sources of inquisitiveness (connectives, quantifiers, modals,
conditionals, intonation)?
- How does inquisitive content interact with informative content in
compositional semantics?
- Why can some expressions not embed questions or appear in questions?
- Which kinds of semantic content beyond inquisitive content are needed to
capture the semantics/pragmatics of questions?
- In which ways is pragmatics sensitive to inquisitive content and other kinds
of semantic content contributed by questions?
