Annotation

B. tries to account for the Hindi question-answering system and to demonstrate that a negativized yes-no question plays an important role in eliciting three types of answering systems. Further, B. shows that instead of a logical notion of presupposition, a pragmatic one is needed to capture the properties and to account for the appropriateness of negativized yes-no questions.
