问题: 附加疑问句

You haven't passed the exam,haven't you?

有这种“否定+否定”,或者“肯定+肯定”的附加疑问句?

解答:

1)Bob rarely got drunk, did he?
Few people know him, do they?
She seldom goes to the cinema, does she?
上述诸句算“肯定+肯定”的附加疑问句?即便语义上不是,那形式上也许算是吧!

2)在口语和非正式文体中,为了加强语气,只是表示某种惊奇、怀疑、反感、讽刺等感情而并不是为了寻求回答,这时前后两部分的肯定、否定是一致的。如:
  Oh, he is a writer, is he?
  You’ll not go, won’t you?

英语附加疑问句在英语所有疑问句中是结构最复杂、语义和语用功能最丰富的疑问句形式。

也许这是一个没有明确答案的问题,因为主流语法对楼主所提的特殊附加疑问句现象是持排斥立场的。但存在就有其合理性。就我的孤陋寡闻,在口语中,“否定+否定”,或者“肯定+肯定”的附加疑问句是存在的,尤其在非正式英语表达中,更是何其之多。(本文所用的英语均来自网上,部分属限制级)
