The article deals with communicative functions of negative yes/no questions, which are compared with their positive counterparts. On the basis of differences in functional sentence perspective, two fundamental types of yes/no questions are distinguished. In the first type, the negative does not express denial, but rather, it modifies the communicative function of the question: it helps to signalize the occurrence of expectation or preference of certain answer by the speaker. In the second type, the negative denies the proposition, the negative/positive form expresses what is expected or doubted to be true.

This study focuses on the concept of the recipient in terms of (a) his/her intended and real semantic-pragmatic and communicative role, (b) language means used in addressing with illocution toward the recipient and (c) verification of communicative circumstances used in connection with the recipient in the speech acts according to the illocutionary functions because we build on the fact that a speech act is the most essential element of interaction. Our default methodological basis is the understanding of the dual – linguistic and communicative-pragmatic – status of the recipient, resulting in the systemic and functional approach. We will only explore Slovak. The material database will consist of the documents from the Slovak National Corpus because these documents are a representative sample capturing the speech used in different areas of communication. Our approach will be based on the verification of theoretical findings through discursive realizations.
