| + | === Empirical questions === | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | * What kind of contexts license focus accenting in conditionals, appositives, and other embedded environments (relative clauses etc.). Is it possible to reconstruct local QUDs for each of these cases? | ||
| + | * Do we get instances of local focus marking in non-intonation languages (Chadic, DGS)? | ||
| + | * Is local focus marking in Hungarian dependent on a focus correlate ('az-CASE') in the matrix clause? What are the patterns? | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | === Modelling questions === | ||
| + | |||
| + | * What is the discourse-semantic function of appositive relative clauses? Are they really non-at issue, or do they rather express answers to additional QUDs that are superimposed on the main QUD? | ||
| + | * Can the same mechanism be exploited to fuse the local questions of other embedded (focus) domains with the main QUD? | ||
| + | * Is this the same mechanism that is overtly at work in the interpretation of indirect scope marking (Dayal 200?), which - in Hungarian - is also possible with relative and other embedded adjunct clauses (Lipták & Zimmermann 2007)? Can it be applied to any instance of embedded focus marking in need of a local QUD? | ||
| + | * What are the alternatives for integrating local questions into the overall discourse/question structure? | ||
| + | * Could alternatives do the job? | ||
