Bok-hee Lee. 2000. Context Change Potential of Question. Studies in Modern Grammar 19, 219-235. The theoretical objective in this paper is to elaborate the notion of context change potential to include an account of interrogatives. In general, a question is a focusing device rather than a source of information. Questions and answers are looked at here in their guise as dynamic, interactive linguistic events, rather than as static semantic objects. A great deal of previous research in File Change Semantics and Discourse Representation Theory shows that certain expressions affect whether or not a given phrase may be understood as the antecedent of a subsequent anaphor. I develop an account dealing specifically with anaphora with antecedents in questions in section 5 where the context change potential of questions is spelled out. The account developed here will provide a possibility of integrating questions into context change discourse theory.
