Summary:This paper presents some preliminary considerations on which criteria one should establish to determine whether a question is polyphonic. The important distinction to be made is between form and function : between the notion of interrogative, which refers to the syntactic form of the clause, and the notion of question, which refers to the illocutionary act. The main point is that a question is not intrinsically polyphonic, but that it can become so if the clause contains some linguistic element which encodes polyphony. The notions elaborated in the discussion make it possible to discriminate between the factors which turn a clause, whatever its form, into a question in the first place and those which could subsequently render the question polyphonic.
