Description
Summary:This article analyses the Spanish question of the type ¿no que…? as a marked polar interrogative construction which, unlike the corresponding neuter interrogative, contributes a conventional, non propositional meaningexpressing evidential values. Especifically, ¿no que p? conveys the conflict between a first value, expressing reported indirect evidentiality (someone said p) and a second value, expressing personal evidentiality (direct or indirect) for the opposite content (it is evident that no p).
