Abstract
Chapter 8 of the book turns to non-canonical questions as second moves in a dialogue and introduces the important distinction between answers and responses. Intuitively, since non-canonical questions often carry presuppositions that can potentially convey information asked for in a dialogue sequence, those questions can potentially be used as responses to other questions. The chapter connects relevant data on those response patterns to the syntax of other response strategies (like anaphoric response particles) and develops an analysis that can account for the indirect ways in which non-canonical questions can be used as second moves in a dialogue via pragmatic inferences.
