|Description=TODOA [[Question| question]] is a topic of inquiry. [[CiteRef::Rawleigh (2018)]] Questions can constitute hierarchies where more specific questions are subquestions of broader questions. For example, 'Was Peter the Great an emperor of Russia?' is a subquestion of 'Who were the emperors of Russia?' since by answering the former, we are also providing a partial answer to the latter. The latter is, in turn, a subquestion of the broader question 'Who were the rulers of European countries?'. [[CiteRef:: Paul add Patton and Al-Zayadi (2021)]] A partial answer to a question is a descriptioncomplete, or direct, answer to one of its subquestions.[[CiteRef::Beck and Sharvit (2002)]][[CiteRef::Sharvit and Beck (2001)]][[CiteRef::Eckardt (2007)]]
