| Summary: | <p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span>This paper is an attempt to provide a cognitive approach to question tags, as grammatical constructions that </span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span>show different syntactic forms. We propose an account based on the following points: (i) definition of question </span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span>tags, (ii) contrastive analysis of the structures in several languages (Catalan, Spanish, French, Italian, English and </span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span>German), (iii) pragmatic approach to question tags, (iv) syntactic approach, and (v) study of question tags as </span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span>grammatical constructions. Our main claim is that the various forms that they show in the languages considered </span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span>are closely related, and that they evidenciate some of the three definitory characteristics of the construction, namely, </span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span>its mixed modality between assertion and interrogation, on the one hand, and halfway between affirmation and </span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span>negation, on the other, its relationship with the truth value of the proposition it follows and finally its subjective </span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span>character, which is connected with the manifestation of the opinions and discoursive attitudes of the speaker.</span></span></span></p> |
