Title: Questions & Answers in Embedded Contexts Series Title: Oxford Studies in Theoretical Linguistics 2 Publication Year: 2002 Publisher: Oxford University Press http://www.oup-usa.org/ Author: Utpal Lahiri, Massachusetss Institute of Technology Hardback: ISBN: 019824133X, Pages: 332 pp, Price: $ 74.00 Paperback: ISBN: 0199246521, Pages: 332 pp, Price: $ 29.95 Abstract: Linguists have realized for some time that predicates of the "know" and "wonder" classes behave differently in semantic terms with respect to their interrogative complements, but have not so far fully understood how or why. This book seeks to explore and to provide solutions to this and to related problems in explaining the meaning and grammar of embedded interrogatives and the predicates that take interrogative complements (indirect questions and how they are answered).
