I have read that the boys have been found?
Case study brothers Julian and Ruben, who went missing after their father was found dead, National Police.I have read and I am asking a question, or I am informing and showing that I am critical.
A question mark is placed on the scenario that ’the boys have been found’. Verification is thus asked for. With this, this tweeter shows some caution in making statements about the state of affairs. Thus, he shows he is critical: a critical identity. The person in question thus (possibly unconsciously) meets the conversational concern of being accused of rumour-mongering.
If it is (already) possible to give that response, it is logical to do so. It is also possible that the question cannot yet be answered. In that case, process information and/or a future perspective can be given. It can then also be explained why the question cannot yet be answered and/or when it can be. Do this in a way that shows respect for the demonstrated commitment of the speaker(s).
