 note = {application/pdf, 紀要論文, An intervention effect is originally a linguistic phenomenon where a scope related element\
cannot appear between a question operator and its trace. This effect is observed in wh-questions,\
alternative questions and yes/no questions across languages. In this paper, I focus on the\
denotation of two types of yes/no questions in Mandarin Chinese and show that scope-related\
elements expand the denotation of questions to include a VERUM operator, which induces the\
various intervention effects. In order to define the denotation of questions, I distinguish two ways\
to answer yes/no questions in Mandarin Chinese and show that each type of answer represents\
different interpretations of a yes/no question. On the basis of this distinction, I propose that the\
denotation of a question containing a focus-sensitive operator is not a partition of possible worlds\
but rather a relation between the proposition and the common ground.},
