| Summary: |
We analyze German bloss as a marker of extreme ignorance questions Q, basically indicating that the speaker has dismissed answers to Q that she initially considered likely. We argue that bloss in questions is used in three varieties that all play on this common theme. The analysis can predict that bloss questions are not synonymous to wh-in-heaven ignorance questions, even though the two question types are similar in pragmatic content.
