反意疑问句初探

An Initial Probe into Disjunctive Questions in English Grammar

英语中的反意疑问句是一种很活跃的句式,无论是考试还是口语中使用的频率都很高,也是英语语法中的一大难点。从结构上看,反意疑问句由陈述句和附加疑问句两部分构成,两部分之间用远号分开。附加的问句读升调时,是对陈述部分内容示以质疑;读降调时则是对陈述部分内容的强调或证实。

Disjunctive questions are very actively used as sentence patterns in English and are frequently used whether in examinations or in oral expression and also they are one of the enormous difficult grammatical points. By analyzing the structure , disjunctive questions comprise declarative sentences and tag questions and between them are dotted with commas. When tag questions are read in rising tone it means the stated content is doubted, when tag questions are read in falling tone it means the stated content is verified or emphasized.
