 Inquisitive semantics

Inquisitive semantics is a framework in formal semantics that explores how language can express questions, information states, and the dynamics of inquiry. It was primarily developed by researchers such as Floris Roelofsen and others to understand the meaning of sentences not just in terms of truth conditions, as is typical in traditional semantics, but also in terms of the ways they can convey inquisitive content. In this approach, sentences can be seen as contributing to the generation and exploration of questions.
