It focuses on assertions and questions containing a negation, for which it is well known that reactions can be ambiguous and that different languages prefer different interpretations. The project examines possible and preferred interpretations in German vs. English, investigating in particular the influence of contextual, semantic and syntactic factors. The methods employed are acceptability judgements experiments, eye movement experiments with visual scenes and eye-tracking reading experiments. The findings will be interpreted in a theory of sentence meaning and discourse interpretation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Principal investigators: Prof. Dr. Manfred Krifka Humboldt-Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin; ZAS Berlin Prof. Dr. Sophie Repp University of Cologne Funding period: 2014-2017; continuation of this project is &#8220;YesNo2: Affirmative and rejective responses to negative assertions and questions&#8221; Project description: The project investigates reactions to assertions and questions that consist of answer particles like yes, no (German) &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xprag.de\/?page_id=91\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">YesNo1: Affirmative and rejective responses to negative assertions and questions<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":16,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"project.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.xprag.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/91"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.xprag.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.xprag.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.xprag.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.xprag.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=91"}],"version-history":[{"count":25,"href":"https:\/\/www.xprag.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/91\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8771,"href":"https:\/\/www.xprag.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/91\/revisions\/8771"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.xprag.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=91"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
