DESCRIPTION:The last decade has seen a steady incr
 ease in work on question meaning, in particular po
 lar question meaning, with relatively new notions 
 like bias becoming front and center. At the same t
 ime, the empirical field has widened to include so
 me understanding of various forms fulfilling the p
 olar question function. Spanning not only interrog
 atives but also declaratives, tags, and alternativ
 es, these forms raise important questions for the 
 relationship between form and meaning. This worksh
 op brings together work that continues this line o
 f research. Topics range from fromal accounts of a
 spects of polar(-like) question forms across langu
 ages to manifestations of meaning in pragmatic and
  social levels that connect to formal grammatical 
 events such as clausal structure, negation, focus 
 and intonation.  Invited speakers: Diti Bhadra (Un
 iversity of Minnesota), Regine Eckardt (Konstanz U
 niversity), Lisa Matthewson (University of British
  Columbia) and Deniz Rudin (University of Southern
  California).
