New but Old
Martin Stokhof and myself wrote our joined dissertation 'Studies on the Semantics of Questions and the Pragmatics of Answers' (1984) in the early eighties on an ordinary typewriter, which means that there was no electronic version available.But thanks to the University Library, since July 2006,a digital version has been realized, which unlike the paper version has search facilities. To facilitate downloading it is spread over two files:
