Claime97f05bb1a081327bca65bf81015e135b0abd2a2c9a539bbbc77851ae9b25291·Paper reconstruction — Maria Esipova (2025), In search of an exclamatory illocutionary force

Claim

Question-answer coherence is not by itself evidence that an utterance addresses a question: rhetorical questions and expressive reactions can be coherent responses while not asserting a proposition that addresses the question.

Evidence (3)

In search of an exclamatory illocutionary force — Discourse behavior: denials, question-addressing, and embedding
there are various ways to react to questions that would likely be judged coherent/felicitous by many speakers that do not actually address the question
