选择问句具有干预效应，即选择问句中的转折句可能不受聚焦成分或量化成分的控制。这似乎在跨语言上成立。我们提供了一个分析这种现象相结合的焦点语义解释的干预效果的问题与分析的替代问题，其中的转折短语提供适当的替代品，以类似的方式一个wh-短语。我们指出干预的分析以及替代问题的分析的后果。我们还注意到与析取的语义贡献有关的有趣的进一步问题。
Alternative questions exhibit intervention effects, in that the disjunctive phrase may not be c-commanded by a focusing or quantificational element. This seems to hold crosslinguistically. We provide an analysis of this phenomenon that combines a focus semantic explanation of intervention effects in questions with an analysis of alternative questions in which the disjunctive phrase makes available appropriate alternatives in a way similar to a wh-phrase. We point out consequences for the analysis of intervention as well as for the analysis of alternative questions. We also note interesting further issues pertaining to the semantic contribution of dis- junction.
