Languages all around the world encode interrogative constructions. It is therefore incumbent upon semanticists to capture the meaning of questions. However, achieving this goal faces a challenge under a truth conditional approach to meaning, since questions cannot easily be assigned a truth value. Moreover, it is not sufficient to focus only on the questions themselves; one must also determine what counts as a felicitous and informative answer, and how this relates to a speaker&#8217;s intention in posing a question in a discourse context. How then do semanticists approach an investigation of questions? In this article, we present the core issues inherent to question\u2010answer dynamics, review the main approaches to question\u2010answer meaning, highlight how questions are situated in a discourse context, and explore extensions of questions that highlight the connection between semantics, pragmatics, and human reasoning.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Click <span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff0000\" href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1002\/wcs.1531\">here<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>for the article!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Graduate student Morgan Moyer and Prof. Kristen Syrett have published a paper, titled, &#8220;The Study of Questions&#8221;, in WIREs Cognitive Science!
