This bachelor thesis examines the occurrence and use of interrogative structures in social media discourse. The theoretical part focuses on electronic discourse with its distinctive language properties, prototypical features of spoken language and its influence on communication in this discourse. Furthermore, it defines the interrogative structure from the syntactic point of view, introduces the typology of interrogative sentences and describes their communicative functions. The analytic part subsequently studies the corpus of selected authentic interactions from the environment of social networks in order to map the use, form and communicative functions of interrogative structures on the context in which they occur.
