1. How question becomes
rhetoric???
RhetoRical question

3. A rhetorical question:
self-evident
used for style
answer is not expected
used to emphasize a point or draw the audience’s attention
e.g. who’s in charge here, anyway?
((therefore I will do as you say, etc.)

4. In the form of a question , asked in order to make a point, the
answer is obvious and therefore not expected
 redundant, i.e., they do
not inherently provide
new information
 used to reconfirm
discourse participants
beliefs and
commitments.
 have obvious answers
that are shared among
the discourse
participants.

6. ‘The same word or phrase is used to begin
successive clauses or sentences.’

7. It was the best of times, it
was the worst of times, it
was the age of wisdom, it
was the age of
foolishness, it was the
epoch of belief.
(A Tale of Two Cities by
Charles Dickens)
Effects:
Key words or ideas
are emphasized,
often with great
emotional pull.
Repetition makes
the line
memorable.
The speaker’s
words
have rhythm.
