Alternative Questions/Interrogatives in Albanian Language
Abstract
Questions or interrogatives are the second most commonly used class of sentences, besides declarative ones. The classification of questions is not only one of the most treated topics in linguistics but also the one that encounters many problems. In Albanian linguistics, there are classifications of questions, but there are also problems related to the terms used in describing these classes and subclasses and the grouping of interrogatives in each class. One of the two main classes of questions/interrogatives is alternative questions. This paper aims at making a clarification and classification of alternative questions and alternative interrogatives based on the semantics and syntax of the Albanian language. Furthermore, it is to be claimed that there are two sub-types of alternative questions/interrogatives, i.e. polar alternative questions and disjunctive alternative questions.Keywords: interrogatives/alternative questions in Albanian language, Polar alternative questions, interrogative particle "a", word order, intonation, The disjunction "apo", etc.
