Non-canonical questions at the syntax-prosody interface
Résumé
This special issue is dedicated to the syntax-prosody interface in non-canonical questions and originated in the international workshop N on -C anonical Q uestions at the S yntax -P rosody I nterface , organised at the Université Paris Cité and held online in November 2020. Recent research has demonstrated that the phonology-syntax relation cannot solely account for prosodic structure, prosody being closely intertwined with discourse organisation, information structure and focus structure (Gussenhoven 1983, Féry 2001). Questions are a case in point, as they crucially call on the addressee before a proposition may be added to the common ground.
