Conditional Questions and Which-Interrogatives
Sophia Velissaratou

Abstract:
Analyses developed so far, failed to provide an adequate semantics for
the interpretation of which-interrogatives of the form "Which P are
Q?". In this paper a new logical language is developed, where
which-interrogatives are expressed by universally quantifying over
conditional interrogatives. Furthermore, a new semantic notion is
introduced, that of an alternative. By means of the latter an adequate
interpretation is given and shortcomings concerning answerhood and
trivial interrogatives are sufficiently dealt with.
