- Benjamin Spector (CNRS - Ecole Normale Supérieure - Institut Jean Nicod)
- Malte Zimmermann (Universität Potsdam)
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Discourse particles in interrogatives
- Question-Particles in interrogative clauses (e.g. Kya in Hindi/Urdu, mI in Turkish)
- Word order in questions
- Self-addressed questions
- Rhetorical questions
- Biased questions
- Tag-questions
- Embedding of canonical and non-canonical questions
- The role of prosody in shaping non-canonical questions
