We take German verb-end questions as our starting point.

Verb-end questions in their deliberative sense end with a rising tone. This distinguishes them from repeat questions (used to remind the addressee that the discourse contains an unaddressed question).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meaning<\/strong>: We pursue the hypothesis that deliberative verb-end questions do not request an answer (although they allow for comments). This hypothesis is investigated in terms of Table Models.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Information structure<\/strong>: The almost obligatory particle wohl leads to varied effects in terms of information structure. These have repercussions on the types of situations that allow a specific deliberative question. We investigate the information structure patterns for verb-end questions and the link to situations that allow for their use. Given that they exhibit the underlying word order of German and are non-embedded, verb-end questions provide an optimal data basis for research of focus effects in questions in general.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The project investigates deliberative questions in German and other languages.
