Question Functions is a theoretical construct in the pragmatics of questions that identifies and categorizes the distinct communicative purposes served by interrogative utterances in discourse, distinguishing it from other pragmatic analyses by focusing specifically on the functional roles questions play in interaction rather than their syntactic or epistemic properties.
