Question-answer pairs: the help of LSF

Abstract: A growing literature has emerged on sign languages describing a particular construction which looks like a question followed by its fragment answer, but which crucially is not interpreted as such. In sign language litterature, it has successively been referred to as pseudoclefts (Wilbur 1996, Branchini 2014), rhetorical questions (Hoza et al. 1997), question-answer constituents (Davidson, Caponigro, and Mayberry 2008), or, more recently, Question Answer Pairs (QAP) in Kimmelman and Vink (2017).

“…A first approach to the study of clefts in LSC has been provided. Regarding pseudoclefts LSC seems to be undergoing a process of grammaticalization just as stated by Kimmelman & Vink (2017) for NGT and by Hauser (2018) for LSF. The question-answer pair claimed to be a pseudocleft in some SLs (Wilbur 1996) is extremely rare in LSC in the context in which a pseudocleft would be completely felicitous.…”
