Abstract:

This book synthesizes and integrates 40 years of research on the semantics of
questions, and its interface with pragmatics and syntax, conducted within the
formal semantics tradition. A wide range of topics are covered, including
weak-strong exhaustiveness, maximality, functional answers,
single-multiple-trapped list answers, embedding predicates, quantificational
variability, concealed questions, weak islands, polar and alternative
questions, negative polarity, and non-canonical questions. The literature on
this rich set of topics, theoretically diverse and scattered across multiple
venues, is often hard to assimilate. Veneeta Dayal, drawing on her own
research, brings them together for the first time in a coherent, concise, and
well-structured whole. Each chapter begins with a non-technical introduction
to the issues discussed; semantically sophisticated accounts are then
presented incrementally, with the major points summarized at the end of each
section. 

Written in an accessible style, this book provides both a guide to one of the
most vibrant areas of research in natural language and an account of how this
area of study is developing. It will be a unique resource for the novice and
expert alike, and seeks to appeal to a variety of readers without compromising
depth and breadth of coverage.
