Syntax is a part of grammar which treats of the rules according to which words are connected in the sentence, and also of the various types of sentences, their structure and meaning.
Sentence is the smallest unit of speech which expresses a more or less complete thought and has a definite grammatical form and intonation. Every sentence shows the relation of the statement to reality from the point of view of the speaker.
The present term paper aims at revealing the essence of disjunctive question in English. It consists of Introduction, two chapters, Conclusion and Bibliography.
In Chapter I the main characteristics of the sentence and its main types according to the purpose of the utterance.
Chapter II touches upon the main peculiarities of disjunctive/tag/ question. This chapter expounds the main features and kinds of disjunctive question and their use in speech.
The conclusion sums up the main inferences of the present paper.
One of the basic characteristic features of the sentence is its communicative and informative sufficiency. It means that every sentence should convey some new information in the process of communication. The interpretation of the sentence from this point of view requires the division of the sentence into two parts. One of them contains the starting point of communication or that already known to the listeners and the other part conveys new information or that not yet known to the listeners and for the sake of which the sentence is constructed. This interpretation of the sentence has been termed the actual division of the sentence or the functional sentence perspective.
The sentence is the smallest unit of speech which expresses more or less complete thought and has a definite grammatical form and intonation. Thus, the sentence is the only unit of language which is capable of expressing a communication containing some kind of information.
There are a number of features of these accounts that support the notion that tag questions may have undergone a degree of grammaticalisation, possibly beyond Cuenca’s original claim. The accounts bear great similarity to the process thought to be involved in the development of discourse markers, involving the shift from (more-or-less) literal meaning (‘informational’), to subjective or textual meaning (‘confirmatory’), to intersubjective or interpersonal meaning (‘attitudinal’). If this also applies to question tags, we would expect to find some examples at the more literal end of the spectrum, in this case being understood as genuine questions, followed by a subjective or textual usage of some kind, followed by an interpersonal function where all sense of interrogation has been lost.
The sentence is a communicative unit, so the primary classification should be based on the communicative principle. This principle is formulated in traditional grammar as the purpose of communication. In accord with the purpose of communication 3 cardinal sentence-types are distinguished: declarative, imperative, interrogative and exclamatory.
The principal use of disjunctive questions is to elicit information from the person being addressed, by indicating, more or less precisely, the information which the speaker (or writer) desires. However questions can also be used for a number of other purposes.
