Abstract: The paper considers self-addressed queries -queries speakers address to themselves in the aftermath of a filled pause.We study their distribution in the BNC and show that such queries show signs of sensitivity to the syntactic/semantic type of the sub-utterance they follow.We offer a formal model that explains the coherence of such queries.
