This talk analyzes a non-interrogative use of the English question word
*how* in "complementizer-like *how" *embedded clauses. As has been
observed, these clauses are factive and occur under responsive predicates.
To account for this pattern, we propose analyzing *how* in these clauses as
introducing a deficient question set, with factivity added via an
answerhood operator. The talk also explores why the word *how*,
specifically, might be used in these clauses.
