Our point of departure is Maleczki’s (2006; 2007) formal-semantic theory on É. Kiss’s (1998) identificational versus information focus, and on the related topic of question–answer alternatives. We consider the factor-set based essence of her solution to be extendable to a cognitive pragmasemantic analysis in which "worldlets" of interlocutors’ knowledges/beliefs, desires/interests and intentions within their information states are taken into consideration. The distinguished thesis in the paper is that the intensional profile of wh-questions is the same as that of yes/no questions, with the differences to be attributed to some "cursor set".
