Listening and questioning

In the article that follows, I take up a debate that has arisen over the past three years concerning the following issue: Does every act of listening involve the listener in questioning? I argue that the answer to the questions is yes. I give background on the question and then consider one instance of listening that may suggest no role for questioning to play. Drawing upon Gadamer, I present an argument in support of my claim. I conclude with an implication for research.
