问问题是人性的一个基本方面。世界各地的语言都编码疑问结构。因此，语义学家有责任捕捉问题的含义。然而，实现这一目标面临着一个挑战下的真值条件的方法的意义，因为问题不能很容易地被分配一个真值。此外，仅仅关注问题本身是不够的;我们还必须确定什么是恰当的和信息丰富的回答，以及这与说话者在话语语境中提出问题的意图有什么关系。那么，语义学家如何研究问题呢？在这篇文章中，我们提出了问答动态所固有的核心问题，回顾了问答意义的主要方法，强调了问题如何位于话语语境中，并探讨了问题的扩展，强调了语义学，语用学和人类推理之间的联系。这篇文章被归类为：语言学>语言理论
Asking questions is a fundamental aspect of human nature. Languages all around the world encode interrogative constructions. It is therefore incumbent upon semanticists to capture the meaning of questions. However, achieving this goal faces a challenge under a truth conditional approach to meaning, since questions cannot easily be assigned a truth value. Moreover, it is not sufficient to focus only on the questions themselves; one must also determine what counts as a felicitous and informative answer, and how this relates to a speaker's intention in posing a question in a discourse context. How then do semanticists approach an investigation of questions? In this article, we present the core issues inherent to question‐answer dynamics, review the main approaches to question‐answer meaning, highlight how questions are situated in a discourse context, and explore extensions of questions that highlight the connection between semantics, pragmatics, and human reasoning.This article is categorized under:Linguistics > Linguistic Theory
