Abstract
Rhetorical questions hold a significant place in stylistics due to their ability to enhance communication by emphasizing ideas, provoking thought, and eliciting emotions. This thesis examines the definition, functions, and applications of rhetorical questions, focusing on their role in various texts, including literary works and speeches. The study integrates insights from Uzbek scholars and international theorists, presenting rhetorical questions as a stylistic bridge between speaker and audience. It emphasizes their capacity to engage listeners and readers, challenge norms, and influence perception.
