Nie-egte vrae in die Romeinebrief: 'n taalhandelingsperspektief

In this study questions previously distinguished only as Rhetorical Questions are classified as non-true questions in accordance with the Speech Act theory. The useful classification of the Speech Act theory is used to put forward a model in which the non-true questions in Romans can be distinguished. Six main categories are distinguished. The model is as follows: A. TRUE QUESTIONS B. NON- TRUE QUESTIONS Under this main category the following is distinguished: 1. Questions of action Directives: Commands, invitations, etc. 2. Questions as Statements: with 2.1 Question statements 2.2 Rhetorical questions 2.3 Meta-communicative Rl 3. Empty Statements 4. Questions that carry emotions: with: 4. 1 Emotion enhance questions 5. Monologue Self-aimed Questions with 5.1 Self-inquiry RI 5.2 Self-acceptance RI 6. Rational-argumentative Questions With 6.1 Appeal questions 6.2 Ironical RI This model was tested and it was concluded that is should be developed to include Theme enhance questions as a 7 th category.

In hierdie studie word vrae wat voeër as onder een noemer as Retoriese Vrae geklasifiseer is as nie-egte vrae beskryf en ontleed aan die hand van die taalhandelingsteorie. Die nuttige onderskeidings van die taalhandelingsteorie word aangewend om 'n model daar te stel waarvolgens nie-egte vrae in die Romeinebrief onderskei kan word. Ses hoofkategorieë is onderskei. Die model sien soos volg daar uit: A. EGTE VRAE B. NIE-EGTE VRAE Onder hierdie hoofgroep kan dan onderskei word: 1. Vrae wat aksie verlang Direktiewe: opdragte, versoeke, uitnodings ens. 2: Vrae wat as stellings beskou word: waaronder 2.1 Vraagstellings 2.2 Retoriese vrae 2.3 Meta-kommunikatiewe Rl 3. Leë vraagstellings 4. Vrae wat primêr emosie oordra: 4.1 Emosieversterkers 5. Monologiese Selfgerigte Vrae waaronder 5.1 Self-ondersoekende RI 5.2 Self-aanvaardings RI 6. Rasioneel-argumentatiewe Vrae Waaronder 6.1 Vraagappêlle 6.2 Ironiese RI Die model is getoets en daar is bevind dat dit uitgebrei moet word om vir 'n spesiale kategorie wat as Temaversterkers onderskei word, voorsiening te maak.
