–: Christopher Tancredi, Question-Answer Congruence
In this talk I argue that a single focus-background structure is insufficient to account for the possibility of simultaneously answering a question and contrasting with a statement preceding the question in context. I propose a revised account that incorporates Krifka's <Background,Focus> structure but adds to it a <Given,Topic> structure. The former structure is argued to be relevant to question-answer congruence and the latter to discourse contrast.
