“你以为(当)X?”问句及相关句类

A Study on "Ni Yiwei (Dang) X?" and Other Related Questions

“以为(当)”多用于与事实不符的论断。正因为如此,它们常用在反问句中。如果X是陈述性的,那么“你以为(当)X?”一定是反问句;如果X是个疑问形式,那么“你以为(当)X?”一般是直接问句,但也可能形成诘醒句③。如果X是陈述性的,“你以为(当)X呢。”是表示否定的陈述句,“你以为(当)X?”是反问句,两者虽然都表示否定,但性质是不同的。文章最后初步探讨相关句类的一些问题。

＂Yiwei＂ and ＂dang＂ are often used in the sentence whose meaning is a assertion that is not in according with a fact. They are often used in rhetorical questions because of this. ＂Ni yiwei （dang） X ？＂ is surely to be a rhetorical question, if X is a statement. If X is a interrogative matter, generally speaking, ＂ni yiwei（dang）＂ will be a direct question although it may be a question. If X is a statement, ＂hi yiwei （dang） X ne（呢）？＂ will also be a statement which implies a negation, however, ＂hi ＇giwei （dang） X？ ＂ will be a rhetorical question. Although they both imply a negation, they are not the same in nature. At last, some questions on some other type of questions in relevance are discussed.
