　View Summary

This study analyzes kana-questions in Japanese. Specifically, they are analyzed as non-intrusive questions (Farkas, 2022) observed in Romanian. However, kanaquestions have unique features that allow interactions with the intonation contours. This study discusses how we can obtain a variety of interpretations of kana-questions using the table model of the discourse and the interaction of discourse effects. Kana-questions are also compared to daroo-questions in Japanese and wohl-questions in German. This paper reveals that kana-questions should be analyzed as non-intrusive rather than just entertaining modality or conjectural questions.
