Chapter 5 extends this implementation to interrogative sentences, accounting for the various behaviors of evidentials in questions. Not only does this extension provide support for the proposed analysis of evidentials, it provides support for the general semantics for mood. Interrogativemood is treated as a different kind of illocutionary relation, but evidentials still contribute not‐at‐issue content. In combination, they account for a range of properties, including the flip interpretation of evidentials, where the addressee has evidence for one of the answers to the question.
