Cross-linguistically, attitude predicates such as know, tell and surprise, can embed both declarative and interrogative clauses. Since these clauses are taken to represent different semantic objects, like propositions and questions, the embedding behavior of these predicates poses puzzles for the compositional semantics of clausal complementation. In addition, the fact that some verbs ¿select for¿ a certain complement type poses further challenges for compositional semantics. This volume addresses these issues based on a uniformly question-oriented analysis of attitude predicates, and proposes to derive their variable behaviors from their lexical semantics.
The book is essential reading for linguists working on the syntax and semantics of clausal complementation, as well as those interested in the role of lexical semantics in compositional semantics. It will also be valuable for philosophers who are interested in applying linguistic tools to address philosophical problems.

Wataru Uegaki is a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow and Lecturer in Semantics at University of Edinburgh in the Department of Linguistics and English Language within the School of Philosophy, Psychology, and Language Sciences. He obtained his PhD at MIT Linguistics in 2015 and was previously a JSPS postdoctoral fellow at Keio University (2016) and an assistant professor at Leiden University Centre for Linguistics (2016-2019).
His research interests include the semantics of questions, the syntax-semantics interface of clausal complementation, and cross-linguistic generalisations in the lexical semantics of logical vocabulary.His research papers have been published in Linguistics and Philosophy, Linguistic Inquiry, Journal of Semantics, Natural Language Semantics, and Language and Linguistics Compass among other venues. He has led research projects funded by Netherlands Research Council (NWO), UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and Artsand Humanities Research Council (AHRC).

Offers new perspectives on long standing issues on the semantics of clausal complementation
Includes a case study of whether syntactic selectional patterns can be derived from lexical semantics
