Doran, Christopher J2016-06-132016-06-131980-05Doran, C. J. (1980). Questions in natural speech: problems of recognition, usage and analysis*. Calgary Working Papers in Linguistics, 6(Spring), 29-40.2371-2643http://hdl.handle.net/1880/51291This paper concerns itself with certain problems in naturally occurring speech, with our intuitive knowledge of what questions are. The problems that I want to discuss are not exclusively limited to 'questions' and could be applied to other types of utterance. However in this paper 'questions' will serve as a focus for the discussion, although I may draw on other types of examples to illustrate more general points.enLinguisticsSociolinguisticsjournal article10.11575/PRISM/29017
