STYLISTIC FEATURES OF INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES

Аннотация

This study examines the stylistic features of interrogative sentences and their role as a means of expressing psychological and emotional states in communication. Interrogative sentences are not limited to information-seeking; they serve as tools for conveying curiosity, doubt, surprise, frustration, and engagement, depending on their structure, lexical choices, and intonation. The analysis highlights their function in literature, where they enhance narrative depth and reveal characters’ inner thoughts, and in media and social communication, where they attract attention and provoke audience response. Pedagogically, understanding the stylistic and emotional nuances of interrogative sentences supports classroom interaction, critical thinking, and communicative competence in both native and second- language learners. Overall, interrogative sentences are versatile linguistic tools that integrate syntactic, stylistic, and emotional elements, contributing significantly to effective and expressive communication. Keywords: Interrogative sentences, stylistic features, emotional expression, prosody, syntax, literature, communication, pedagogy.
