It is argued that under a situation semantic account assuming resource situations, the different behaviour of additive particles can be explained: Under a <em>question under discussion</em> account, additive particles like <em>too</em> and <em>also</em> are used when a (possibly covert) question is ‘reopened’ in order to add a further true answer (Beaver and Clark 2008, i.a.). This paper suggests that there are two ways in which a question can be re-addressed: it can either be reopened with (i) a different resource situation or (ii) with a different topic situation. This can explain the different behaviour of the additive particles <em>auch</em> and <em>noch</em> in German.</p> ER -
