DESCRIPTION:The semantic literature on question-em
 bedding predicates has generally focused on the re
 strictions of certain predicates and the complemen
 ts they can take as argument. However, the discuss
 ion becomes even more convoluted when we take the 
 analysis cross-linguistic. My presentation explore
 s the `que+ indirect question' construction that e
 xists in Spanish, but not in English. The construc
 tion allows for a Spanish speaker to use a larger 
 set of verbs to unambiguously report a question th
 an the English speaker, and proves that a more det
 ailed analysis of question-embedding predicates is
  needed. I will introduce this construction, explo
 re some possible explanations for why certain verb
 s allow the construction while other prohibit it, 
 and show why this puzzle is not merely a semantic 
 one, but a syntactic one. It's going to be very ve
 rby!
