Abstract
The aim of this paper is to motivate and specify the logical notion of compliance, which judges whether or not a certain sentence makes a significant contribution towards resolving a given issue in a cooperative dialogue that is geared towards the exchange of information. We assume that such a contribution may consist in (partially) resolving the issue, or in raising an easier to answer sub-issue (cf. Roberts, 1996). Thus, among other things, compliance will provide a characterization of answerhood and subquestionhood: it will tell us which sentences count as (partial) answers to a given question, or as subquestions of that question.
