The Expression of the Focus of the “ne” Interrogative Sentence and the Comparison between Chinese and English

"呢"问句宽焦点表达方式分为正反问、选择问、谓词特指问以及反问句四种,谓词特指问句"NP+呢?"可以问位置,存在假设关系,其完整式和省略式还可能表示条件关系;窄焦点表达方式是指论元附加语特指问。不同类型的宽焦点"呢"问句可以通过对比重音、焦点标记以及成分移位这三种方式转变为窄焦点,而与"呢"问句相应的英语问句无法转变为窄焦点。

The expressions of wide focus of＂ne＂ question are divided into four types： positive and negative questions, choice questions, predicate specific questions, and rhetorical questions. The predicate specific question ＂NP＋ne？＂ can ask for position and hypothetical situation, and its completeness and ellipsis may also represent conditional relationships. The narrow focus expression refers to the argument specific question and the adjunct specific question. Different types of wide-focus ＂he＂ questions can be transformed into narrow focus by three methods： contrastive stress, focus mark, and movement. The English question corresponding to the ＂ne＂ question cannot be turned into narrow focus.
