Abstract
In the previous chapter, we have discussed the semantics of rogative predicates—predicates that are compatible only with interrogative complements (e.g., wonder, ask)—and how it bears on the comparison between the proposition-oriented theory and the question-oriented theory. In this section, I will shift our focus back to responsive predicates—predicates that are compatible with declarative and interrogative complements. In particular, within responsive predicates, I will identify three classes of predicates that possess a semantic property that is hard to capture under the proposition-oriented theory. I will then demonstrate that these predicates can be adequately analyzed under the question-oriented theory.
