There is currently no consensus for the grammatical properties or categorial status of & #39;po& #39; and & #39;poi& #39;, so Matteo will compare them with & #39;doch& #39;. His hypothesis is that, as & #39;doch& #39; is, this two are modal particles.

& #39;Doch& #39; function is "re-activates a common ground" in the conversation. It presupposes the incompatibility of two propositions part of the CG.

& #39;Poi& #39; is used as a discourse particle used when neither the speaker nor the hearer can find an answer and that signals that the speaker is expecting the addressee to know the answer of a question
