Les interrogatives dites rhétoriques au prisme de la théorie d’Antoine Culioli by Bénédicte Guillaume

“…The common, factor between these categories is the fact that the scanning operation normally triggered by the recourse to a subject / auxiliary (or subject / verb) inversion, or the presence of a WH- marker, is prevented insofar as the speaker has already selected an answer.My typology is thus based on three distinct ways of providing an outlet for the scanning operation brought about by the recourse to interrogative markers, which account for the differences between each of the categories postulated. …”
