In Potential Questions at the Semantics-Pragmatics Interface Edgar
Onea proposes a novel component for question under discussion based
discourse pragmatic theories thereby combining such theories with
new ideas from inquisitive semantics. He shows how potential
questions account for an entire range of grammatical phenomena.
These phenomena include the semantics of indefinite determiners,
the meaning contribution of nominal appositives, specificational
constructions and non restrictive relative clauses. This book
delivers a comprehensive and empirically rich investigation into
the role of questions in natural language interpretation. Drawing
on data from German, English, Hungarian and Russian, Edgar Onea's
study significantly broadens our understanding of conventional
sensitivity to questions through formally rigorous analyses of
specificational particles, parentheticals and indefinites. The
Potential Questions framework offers a new and exciting perspective
on utterance meanings as not just addressing, but also raising
questions, with important consequences for integrated analyses of
discourse structure and discourse relations. This book is essential
reading for anybody interested in the semantics-pragmatics
interface. Judith Tonhauser, The Ohio State University
