"The view that questions are 'requests for missing information' is too simple when
language use is considered. Formally, utterances are questions when they are syntactically
marked as such, or by prosodic marking. Functionally, questions request that certain
information is made available in the next conversational turn. But functional and
formal questionhood are independent: what is formally a question can be functionally
something else, for instance, a statement, a complaint or a request. Conversely, what
is functionally a question is often expressed as a statement. Also, verbal signals
such as eye-gaze, head-nods or even practical actions can serve information-seeking
functions that are very similar to the function of linguistic questions. With original
cross-cultural and multidisciplinary contributions from linguists, anthropologists,
psychologists and conversation analysts, this book asks what questions do and how
a question can shape the answer it evokes"
