Annotation

D. distinguishes 'reminding' questions (e.g. 'Who did you say comes tonight?') from echo questions (e.g. 'When will mother come? At 8 o'clock' in response to 'When will mother come?') and genuine wh-questions. Their intonation is said to be determined by the expectability of a certain answer.
