21. Excursive questionsTue Trinh, Itai Bassi, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: We present novel observations about types of questions which occur quite frequently in natural discourse but which have so far remained unanalyzed. These are questions about a question act. We then propose an account which derives the observations. Our account relies crucially on the assumption that speech acts are grammatically represented. Ključne besede: questions, speech acts, performative hypothesis Objavljeno v RUNG: 09.01.2025; Ogledov: 359; Prenosov: 4

22. Epistemic bias anti-licenses NPIs in polar questionsTue Trinh, 2023, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Opis: There is general agreement that the distribution of "any" is unrestricted in polar questions. I argue that this is not the case: in contexts where there is epistemic bias in favor of the prejacent of a polar question, the question exhibits the same behavior as a declarative with respect to the licensing of "any". I provide an account for this observation in terms of intervention: epistemic bias forces polar questions to be parsed as having a silent modal E which intervenes between "any" and the question operator "whether" that otherwise licenses "any".

23. A note on speech act recursionTue Trinh, 2024, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Opis: I present novel observations about iterated questions, i.e. questions about questions, and propose an analysis. The conclusions I argue for are the following: (i) speech acts are represented in the grammar; (ii) speech act recursion is possible but is limited to at most two levels; (ii) declarative questions are questions about an assertion act. I also show that assuming speech acts in the grammar can help systematize some puzzling differences between matrix and embedded sentences with respect to their pronunciation.
