The way we say the words we say helps us convey the meanings we intend. The way words are 鈥榗hunked鈥� into intonation phrases conveys information about grammatical structure and constituency relations, and within these phrases, differences in the relative amplitude, length and pitch of syllables help direct a listener鈥檚 attention to the most salient points of a message. But as well as conveying linguistic information, prosodic elements such as pitch, stress and intonation convey information about

Asking a question means, essentially, presenting the hearer with a set of propositions with the request that she choose from it those that are true. It is a well-known fact about natural language that questions can be "biased": the propositions presented are not all equal, so to speak. For example, the speaker's belief, or contextual evidence, might favor some against others. The formal means employed by grammar to express such biases have been of interest to linguists for a long time, and the i
