Echo Question is defined as “a repetition of a prior utterance. The main function of an echo question is to clarify the form or content of the prior utterance”.[1]
Example(1) -Explainer: ['How much sleep do you get, typically?'] -Explainee: ['During the summer?', 'Like 10 hours.'] -Explainer: [10 hours?] -->Echo Question
Example(2): -Explainer: ['Okay.', 'How long are the naps that you take?'] -Explainee: ['Anywhere from between one to six hours.'] -Explainer: [One to six hours? "That's a long nap."] -->Echo Question
