Abstract
This paper develops a logic that combines the main features of dynamic
epistemic logic with those of inquisitive semantics. We argue that
this merge helps both traditions a step further. From the viewpoint of
dynamic epistemic logic, the main benefit lies in the fact that
inquisitiveness does not only enter the picture at the level of speech
acts, but already at the level of semantic content, which means in
particular that it becomes possible to deal with embedded
questions. From the viewpoint of inquisitive semantics, the main
vantage point is that we inherit from dynamic epistemic logic a
perspicuous way of representing the epistemic states of the
conversational participants, and a way to specify explicitly how
utterances and other speech acts affect these epistemic states.
