Abstract

Questions are triggers for explicit events of 'issue management'. We give a complete logic in dynamic-epistemic style for events of raising, refining, and resolving an issue, all in the presence of information flow through observation or communication. We explore extensions of the framework to longer-term temporal protocols and multi-agent scenarios. We sketch a comparison with two main alternative accounts: Hintikka's interrogative logic and Groenendijk's inquisitive semantics.
