Isi artikel

Discourse particles and interjectives allow a speaker to signal how information presented in an utterance relates to her epistemic or emotive state. I present a semantics for one such interjective: the English particle what. In addition, I provide evidence that it carries multiple discourse functions, and propose that these distinct uses are best captured by their relation to the central discourse topic.
