In this class, we examine polar (yes/no) questions from various linguistic angles: what is their cross-linguistic morpho-syntactic variation? What is their semantics? How are they used in discourse? How can they be studied experimentally? We will have an in-depth look at declarative questions, i.e., questions expressed by means of declarative sentences, often in combination with question tags or intonational marking (e.g., 'You like spaghetti, don't you?'). Finally, we examine responses to positive and negative polar questions, and how they differ across languages.
