"And you" "what about you" questions

Post by manumanu »

Hi all,

Just a quick grammar-related question.
Does anyone know if there is a technical term for questions such as "and you" or "how about you"?

Any information will be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

M.

There is no technical term with which I am familiar that would cover both of these.

'And you?' would be technically termed a sentence fragment.
