    Supports→The system of Groenendijk (2009) and Mascarenhas (2009) is inadequate for representing the issue in question.

    Hamblin (1973) established that the semantic value of a question is a set of propositions, not an equivalence partition, meaning partition-based systems systematically under-generate.

    Key Terms

    Equivalence partition(in formal logic and set theory)
    A way of dividing up possibilities into groups where items in the same group are considered 'equivalent' or equally valid in some way.
    Hamblin (1973)(as a reference to a foundational philosophical work)
    Charles Hamblin was a philosopher who published influential work on logic and questions in 1973; this citation refers to his specific arguments about how questions work logically.
    Partition-based systems(in formal approaches to logic)
    Logical systems that organize information by dividing it into separate, non-overlapping categories or groups.
    Under-generate(in logic and formal systems)
    To produce or allow fewer possibilities than actually exist; in this case, partition systems fail to capture all the valid meanings a question can have.

    proposition(Used in the context of a semantic theory sensitive to differences in subject matter.)
    The content expressed by a sentence, individuated at least in part by the subject matter of the sentence and the contents of its subsentential expressions.
    semantic value(A term lacking semantic value renders sentences containing it proposition-less)
    The contribution a term makes to the proposition expressed by a sentence containing it; absent when the term fails to refer to any real property or kind
    set(von Neumann's class theory)
    A class that is a member (of some class).
