19/04/23 (c) bm* INSA 10/11 6

QUESTION TYPES specific questions

most of the questions we ask are specific questions and children ask these questions all the time.

These are the questions we ask in situations where we want something we do not have, such as information, directions or food.

We ask someone who we think will be able to provide what we are seeking.

The question is closed when the item in question is provided

  Ex.: Where is the ‘confluence area?

19/04/23 (c) bm* INSA 10/11 7

QUESTION TYPES inquiry questions

Inquiry questions are different from specific questions.

Inquiry questions do not necessarily assume that the person questioned knows the answer.

Ex.: Will the southern inner-city peninsula of Lyon car free?

19/04/23 (c) bm* INSA 10/11 8

QUESTION TYPES rhetorical questions

Rhetorical questions are not real questions because the questioner usually knows the answer.

They can be usefull for starting an interview

  Ex.: Does Lyon have an ambitious

urban project these days ?

19/04/23 (c) bm* INSA 10/11 9

QUESTION TYPES closed questions

Many questions we ask require only a simple yes /no answer or a brief response. These are usually classified as closed or skinny questions.

They are usually used to recall information or to assess prior knowledge.

  Is it true that the new area will be

entirely ecological?

19/04/23 (c) bm* INSA 10/11 10

QUESTION TYPES open questions

Questions which involve complex thinking require much explanation and detail in their answers and probably time to think and reflect.

These questions are often called open or fat questions .

They are often used to build up information, to allow for more personal responses and to generate further discussions and questioning.

Ex: What are the criteria for the

further development of Lyon’s public transport to the south?

who?
