摘要：
In this paper, we investigate a type of non-canonical question that is not information-seeking, but rather expresses the speaker's surprise and/or disapproval with respect to the event denoted by the propositional part of the question. Our work is empirically based on claims that have been put forward in the syntactic literature, and our study aims at empirically assessing those theoretical claims about the illocutionary status of surprise-disapproval questions by exploring their pragmatics.
