Two central notions in this theory are entailment between questions and answerhood. For example, the question ``Who is going to the party?'' entails the question ``Is John going to the party?'', and ``John is going to the party'' counts as an answer to both. Groenendijk and Stokhof define these two notions in terms of partitions of a set of possible worlds. We provide a syntactic characterization of entailment between questions and answerhood . We show that answers are, in some sense, exactly those formulas that are built up from instances of the question. This result lets us compare the partition theory with other approaches to interrogation -- both linguistic analyses, such as Hamblin's and Karttunen's semantics, and computational systems, such as Prolog. Our comparison separates a notion of answerhood into three aspects: equivalence (when two questions or answers are interchangeable), atomic answers (what instances of a question count as answers), and compound answers (how answers compose).}, added-at = {2007-12-14T02:46:30.000+0100}, author = {Shan, Chung-Chieh and ten Cate, Balder}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2a2db363e44bd0ae79fe4da8efb3b4a5c/diego_ma}, booktitle = {Proc. 7th ESSLLI Student Session}, editor = {Nissim, Malvina}, interhash = {a80083f363d13838d3a2ef44f1d561d3}, intrahash = {a2db363e44bd0ae79fe4da8efb3b4a5c}, keywords = {semantics questions}, timestamp = {2007-12-14T02:46:30.000+0100}, title = {The Partition Semantics of Questions, Syntactically}, url = {http://arxiv.org/abs/cs.CL/0209008}, year = 2002 } @phdthesis{Resnik:1993, added-at = {2007-12-14T02:45:39.000+0100}, author = {Resnik, Philip}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/25098e23f2a7e8145a8ff5d04b95f5056/diego_ma}, howpublished = {IRCS Report 93-42}, interhash = {10901bc280e694e0bc33b47e4b709352}, intrahash = {5098e23f2a7e8145a8ff5d04b95f5056}, keywords = {semantics}, school = {University of Pennsylvania}, timestamp = {2007-12-14T02:45:39.000+0100}, title = {Selection and Information: A Class-Based Approach to Lexical Relationships}, year = 1993 } @incollection{Quillian:1968, added-at = {2007-12-14T02:45:26.000+0100}, author = {Quillian, Ross}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/28da10dbb292cd3eecb3451ffb87a63c3/diego_ma}, booktitle = {Semantic Information Processing}, interhash = {3fa81da41a93a45bf25f7dd528458c6e}, intrahash = {8da10dbb292cd3eecb3451ffb87a63c3}, keywords = {graphs semantics}, pages = {216-270}, publisher = {MIT Press}, timestamp = {2007-12-14T02:45:26.000+0100}, title = {Semantic Memory}, year = 1968 } @inproceedings{Pinkal:1991, added-at = {2007-12-14T02:45:01.000+0100}, address = {Berlin}, author = {Pinkal, Manfred}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2d48e647baad2aab26afd66b1a5cfc65a/diego_ma}, booktitle = {Proc. of the Fifth Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL)}, interhash = {d633fd892f0637068a491b3751633a06}, intrahash = {d48e647baad2aab26afd66b1a5cfc65a}, keywords = {quantification anaphora syntax semantics}, timestamp = {2007-12-14T02:45:01.000+0100}, title = {On the Syntactic-Semantic Analysis of Bound Anaphora}, year = 1991 } @incollection{Parsons:1985, added-at = {2007-12-14T02:44:48.000+0100}, address = {Oxford}, author = {Parsons, Terence}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/29c5e31c25888de144de3673caa4cebba/diego_ma}, booktitle = {Actions and Events: Perspectives on the philosophy of {Donald} {Davidson}}, editor = {Lepore, Ernest and McLaughlin, Brian P.}, interhash = {6cc871cde2d46f235257ea2988673b48}, intrahash = {9c5e31c25888de144de3673caa4cebba}, keywords = {events semantics philosophy}, pages = {235-267}, publisher = {Blackwell}, timestamp = {2007-12-14T02:44:48.000+0100}, title = {Underlying Events in the Logical Analysis of {E}nglish}, year = 1985 } @book{Parsons:1990, added-at = {2007-12-14T02:44:47.000+0100}, address = {Cambridge, MA}, author = {Parsons, Terence}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/27fb8cb158ab13aceb04dcb9181eadb73/diego_ma}, interhash = {10a781498528e8cda70a5d80b8170d98}, intrahash = {7fb8cb158ab13aceb04dcb9181eadb73}, keywords = {events semantics}, publisher = {MIT Press}, timestamp = {2007-12-14T02:44:47.000+0100}, title = {Events in the Semantics of {English}: A study in subatomic semantics}, year = 1990 } @misc{Parsons:2000, abstract = {This is a beginning text on the semantics of English, intended for readers who have some prior acquaintance with theories of the syntax of English in the generative tradition.

Computational linguistics has ignored the competition and implicitly embraced all three, and rightly so; but different views have predominated at different times and in different applications. Contemporary applications mostly take the crudest view: meaning is objectively ``in'' a text. The more-sophisticated applications now on the horizon, however, demand the other two views: as the computer takes on the user's purpose, it must also take on the user's subjective views; but sometimes, the user's purpose is to determine the author's intent. Accomplishing this requires, among other things, an ability to determine what could have been said but wasn't, and hence a sensitivity to linguistic nuance.
