Abstract:
The aim of the study is to explore the use of rhetorical questions as a stylistic device in English journalistic articles and to provide a deeper understanding of their functions and effects. The study seeks to analyze a sample of articles to identify patterns and themes related to the use of rhetorical questions, including their frequency and placement, functions, effects on readers, and ethical considerations. The findings of the study can contribute to the larger body of knowledge on language and communication, specifically on the use of rhetorical devices in persuasive writing.
