Book Description:

This book presents a new analysis of concealed-question constructions, in which part of a sentence looks like a nominal complement but is interpreted as an indirect question. It provides a fully compositional account of a range of these constructions and offers insights into a variety of issues in semantic theory and the syntax-semantics interface.
