Title:	Shapes of conversation and at-issue content
Author:	Hunter, Julie; Asher, Nicholas
Abstract:	While not-at-issue (NAI) content is typically introduced via particular syntactic constructions, accounts of NAI content that only consider the syntax/semantics interface face empirical difficulties. We develop a new approach to NAI content that exploits features of discourse structure to solve these difficulties, and we provide some insight on the strategic uses of NAI constructions.
