Abstract
AbstractClausal complementation represents one of the most important empirical domains in formal semantics, given its relevance to numerous central theoretical topics in semantics, such as intensionality, attitudes, clause typing, and selection. At the same time, the highly complex empirical landscape of declarative and interrogative complementation has challenged any semanticist who has tried to achieve a unified analysis of the phenomena. I hope to have shown in the previous chapters that the question-oriented theory offers an attractive unified semantic account of declarative and interrogative clausal complementation. According to this proposal, all clause-embedding predicates semantically select for a set of propositions, and both declarative and interrogative complements are represented as proposition-sets.
