I even asked my own: https://ell.stackexchange.com/questions ... -questions
But today I found the case when you can ask question without auxiliary verb in English:
Why?
What??
Why not?
What else? (it's original question that brings me to search if it's correct to say that without be/do/have).

Today I listened to an audiobook and heard something like: "Request permission to come aboard?"
There are customs to board ships / aircrafts / etc in military and they require strange requests or questions (usually sound affirmative from what I found on Internet but sometimes interrogative, like I've heard in an audiobook).

I found separate paragraph about declarative questions in Swan (sec 27, ref 302): That's the boss?
Author notes that inversion is mandatory if a question word is here: Where are you going?
Swan also distinguishes "echo questions": "I'm getting married", "You are getting married?" + "Take a look at that.", "Take a look at WHAT?"
Provided link requires additional search and I found term "Elliptical Yes/no questions". There is not as much info on Internet, this was helpful:
http://users.clas.ufl.edu/rthompso/inte ... tions.htmlYes/no questions are often reduced (shortened) in informal conversation. This can be done in two ways, by the formation of elliptical yes/no questions and by the formation of declarative (or statement) yes/no questions.
Elliptical yes/no-questions. Note how the helping verb and sometimes the subject have been deleted from the following questions. Note too the intonation.
You joining us in our lane?
Been swimming long?
Elliptical questions are some of the most common in conversation.

I found many example of question in "Questions: Formal, Functional and Interactional Perspectives" by Jan P. de Ruiter (I saw excerpts on Googl Books). It blew my mind.
Like elliptical alternative questions.
"For one year or does it say?"

In this slides I see a purpose of declarative questions:
* check info: - This (--no-is--) my younger brother. - He is your brother?
* repeat to question of confirm what has already been said: - I lost my job. - You lost your job?
* express surprise, amazement, annoyance: You bought a car?!
* check info: - This (--no-is--) my younger brother. - He is your brother?
* repeat to question of confirm what has already been said: - I lost my job. - You lost your job?
* express surprise, amazement, annoyance: You bought a car?!

да полно такого
мне кажется, это уже область прагматики, а не грамматики.

- When I first moved to the city I went out a couple of times with this girl. Really hot, great kisser, but she had the biggest Adam's apple.
- You or me?
- I got it. Joey, women don't have Adam's apples.
- You guys are messing with me, right?
