众所周知，只有事实命题态度谓语才适合用 wh-（间接疑问句）补足语。人们还注意到，所谓的情感事实谓词仅适用于某些而非全部间接问题补足语。但这两个限制的原因仍不清楚。我从最优理论语用学角度提出了一种基于竞争的解释：由于与事实谓词的竞争，像belief这样的谓词在补语自动验证事实预设时是不恰当的；情感性事实谓词与 wh 补足语不合适，因为这些补足语与信息量更大的 that 补足语竞争。为了得出这些结果，有必要对它们表示命题的问题进行分析，并且在事实事实和我所说的超事实谓词的预设的表述方面比惯常更加小心。
It is a well-known fact that only factive propositional attitude predicates are felicitous with wh-(indirect question) complements. It has also been noted that so-called emotive factive predicates are only felicitous with some, not all, indirect question complements. But the reasons for these two constraints have remained unclear. I propose a competition-based explanation in terms of optimality theoretic pragmatics: Due to the competition with factive predicates, predicates like believeare infelicitous with complements automatically verifying the factive presupposition; and emotive factive predicates are infelicitous with wh-complements to the extent that these complements compete with more informative thatcomplements. To arrive at these results, it is necessary to assume an analysis of questions on which they denote propositions and to be more careful than has been customary about the formulation of the presuppositions of factive and what I call super-factive predicates.
