An interrogative sentence is a grammatical expression of a question. This proposal contains an idea aimed either at supplementing or at clarifying the basic (basic) or initial knowledge (information).
Q & A logic
Cognitive activity assumes the presence of basic knowledge. In the process of cognition, the question (any) is based on this knowledge, which, in turn, is a prerequisite for the expression of refinement (or addition). The realization of the cognitive function of thought is carried out in the form of an answer.
There are basic types of questions. Their classification is determined taking into account semantics, structure, functions, as well as their relationship to the topic of discussion.
In accordance with semantics, there are types of questions that are implicitly or explicitly based or include a certain basic, initial knowledge, which acts as their premises. Moreover, the quality of basic information determines the incorrectness or correctness of their statement.
An incorrect question is an expression of thought with a contradictory or false basis. For example: "What type of energy do UFOs use?" A prerequisite for this issue is far from certain information about the existence of unidentified flying objects. In other words, one should establish the fact of the actual existence of UFOs before being interested in the type of energy that they can use there.
The correct (correctly posed) question is the expression of a thought having a premise with consistent (true) knowledge.
In accordance with the cognitive function, there are two types of expression of thoughts. So, questions can be complementary ("what-questions") or clarifying ("whether-questions").
Refiners include expressions of thoughts that are aimed at determining the truth of a judgment. For example: "Is it true that Columbus discovered America?" or "Does Switzerland join NATO?"
Replenishing include such questions that are aimed at determining new characteristics of the subject (object). For example: "By whom was America discovered?" or "What article punishes this crime?"
In accordance with the structure, the following types of questions are classified: complex and simple.
In simple queries of thought there are no components. In a simple “li-question” one proposition is applied, in a “what-question” - a question word that refers to one proposition that needs to be clarified (or supplemented). All of the above questions are simple.
Complex requests of thoughts are distinguished by a special structure. In such matters other questions are present in the form of components, which are united by logical connectives. Given the type of ligament, connective (conjunctive), mixed (connective-dividing) and dividing (disjunctive) structures are determined.
In connection matters, the union "and" is used for communication. The expression scheme can be represented in various forms. For example: "Is it true that an expulsion and a link can be simultaneously applied to the accused?" In one structure, different interrogative words can be combined. For example: "When and where was the act of surrender signed?".
Separators are those structures in which two or more simple expressions of thoughts are used that are connected using the “or” union. For example: "Is it true that there was a suicide, or was it a murder?"
In accordance with the attitude to the topic of discussion, there are types of questions on the merits and not merits.
The first type includes the request for thought, connected indirectly or directly with the subject under discussion. The answer involves clarifying or supplementing the initial (basic) knowledge.
The request for thought is not essentially related directly to the subject under discussion.
