特指问句在合肥方言中是一种常用的问句类型,具有显著的合肥方言特征。通过描写法分析的结果可知,合肥方言特指问句在形式上主要体现为疑问代词的差异,其疑问域主要有七类,询问人、事物、时间、地点、数量、原因和方式。不同的疑问域都有不同的疑问代词进行提问。在语用上,除了惯常询问功能之外,合肥方言的特指问还有三种特殊功用:疑问代词的“说明”和“指别”功能、疑问代词的反问功能以及问句类型的混合使用。在语义上,疑问代词、句末语气词和问句语调对特指问句的疑问焦点都会有所影响。
Wh-questions belong to a common question type in Hefei dialect, and they have significant characteristics. The results of descriptive analysis show that the Hefei dialect wh-questions differ in the form of interrogative pronouns, which mainly comprise six types: asking people, things, time, place, number, reason, and mode. Different interrogative domains have different interrogative pronouns. In terms of pragmatics, in addition to the usual questioning function, wh-questions have three special functions: the "explanation" and "reference" functions of interrogative pronouns, the rhetorical function of interrogative pronouns, and the mixed use of question types. Semantically,interrogative pronouns, ending modal words and question tone will all affect the interrogative focus of wh-questions.
