Abstract

AbstractIn Chap. 1, I introduced two theories of the semantics of clause-embedding predicates—the proposition-oriented theory and the question-oriented theory—and considered how they deal with the basic behavior of responsive predicates, i.e., those predicates that can embed either a declarative or an interrogative complement. The tentative conclusion of the chapter was that responsive predicates can be adequately analyzed either as having a proposition-oriented semantics or a question-oriented semantics.
