We present a research on compositional treatment of questions in neo-Davidsonian event semantics style. (Champollion, 2011) presented a dynamic neo-Davidsonian compositional treatment of declarative sentences. Starting from complex formal examples we enrich Champollion's framework with ways of handling phenomena specific to questions-answers pair representation. This research can be applied in multiple fields ranging from questions answering tasks in information retrieval and chatbot programming to human interaction studies.
