This interest in inquisitiveness goes beyond the interpretation of questions as such. For example, questions are wide ly assumed to play a structural role in the analys is of discourse. Likewise, most theories on focus and the interpretation of intonation make a link w ith the question-answerhood relation. More radical ly it has been argued that a proper understanding of seemingly purely informative constructions, lik e disjunctions and conditionals, requires a notion of inquisitiveness as a basic ingredient of meani ng. The main aim of this workshop is to investigat e the significance of inquisitiveness for semantic s, pragmatics, and logic.
