Trick questions are a subgenre of puzzles that have undergone little, if any, semantic-pragmatic study, in part because they are often conflated with riddles. While they do share some mechanisms with riddles, they lean much more heavily on pragmatic mechanisms, and how they make use of them is quite different. This paper focuses on three types of invited presuppositions (box, red herring, and rug) that add more weight to the theory that presuppositions are best suited to pragmatic analysis. The lingering question is whether these three types are more or less comprehensive, or if other types might be distilled from other trick questions.

邀请的前提和技巧问题的语用

技巧问题是很少进行（即使有的话）语义语用学研究的难题的子流派，部分原因是它们经常与谜语混为一谈。尽管它们确实与谜语共享某些机制，但它们更多地依赖于实用的机制，并且它们如何使用它们也大不相同。本文着重于三种类型的邀请预设（盒子，红色鲱鱼和地毯），这些预设为最适合实际分析的理论增加了分量。挥之不去的问题是这三种类型是或多或少全面的，或者其他类型是否可以从其他技巧问题中提炼出来。
