Abstract

The paper deals with the analysis of so-called modus questions, which are interpreted as interrogative constructions appealing to the intentional or mental state of the addressee — her / his opinion, knowledge, evaluation or explanation. The main semantic types, formal characteristics and structural patterns of modus questions including their quantitative properties and characteristics in a natural conversation will be discussed.
