7-9 March 2012, Questions in Discourse, Frankfurt

This workshop focuses on the interaction of form and meaning of linguistic expressions with questions in discourse. It is well known that such an interaction exists, for instance, focus in an answer often corresponds to the wh-word in an explicit or implicit question, and some verbs can even embed overt or concealed questions. Recently, however, important progress has been achieved in this regard.

Invited speakers: David Beaver, Jeroen Groenendijk, Malte Zimmermann
