Yes-no questions in English spoken discourse Similar to the previous part of the study concerning questions in English spoken discourse, questions extracted from the Albanian spoken discourse are going to be categorized into two main categories based on traditional grammar, yes-no questions and wh-questions. Based on the corpus of the study, the number of wh-questions prevails in comparison to yes-no questions in the Albanian language. 4.2 Yes-no questions and wh-questions in Albanian Table 2. Wh-question in English spoken discourse Wh-questions of the Albanian spoken corpus are expressed by twelve wh-words: cili (what/who), si (how), ¢ka (what), kush (who), ¢fai (what), pse (why), sa (how much/how many), kur (when), ku (where), kujt (whose), pér ké (for who), and kénd (who). As far as research findings are concerned, a detailed explanation of yes-no questions and wh-questions regarding their structure, frequency, and pragmatic function is going to be provided in the forthcoming section of the study.
