Abstract
In Ancient Greek, as in any other language, the interrogative sentence
type is not always used in what we would consider 'normal' questions,
those that elicit information from the addressee. If we take that
function to be the default, the fact that questions can also be used
to assert something calls for an explanation. Such explanations have
been sought in linguistic pragmatic theory on speech acts and
implicatures. This is also the approach taking in the present thesis,
based on a model by van Eemeren and Grootendorst.
