Стилистика тилшуносликнинг ажралмас қисми бўлиб, у бадиий нутқнинг ифодаланиш услублари, уларнинг таъсирчанлиги ва умуман инсон нутқини ўрганадиган фандир

STYLISTIC DEVICES SET UP ON THE TRANSFERRED USE OF STRUCTURAL MEANING.
In the same way as words can be used with transferred lexical meanings some syntactical structures may be used with different structural meanings. It is clear seen in the function of these constructions. Among these SDs stands out two syntactical SDs – rhetorical questions and litotes.
The rhetorical question is an SD which alters the grammatical meaning of the interrogative sentence. As the result of this alteration the affirmative statement is embodied in an interrogative form and that’s why we can see here the interaction of two structural meanings: that of the question and, of the statement. Both meanings are materialized simultaneously: His thought began again upon the old round. Had he misled Rain totally concerning the nature of his marriage? Did Rain love him anyway? Would her attachment to him endure? Supposing he were to destroy everything in order to be with her, would it turn out in the end to be a disaster? Was he not simoly criminal to contemplate a union with so young a girl? In this case a rhetorical question is not intended to draw an answer, and is used for rhetorical effect within the frame of represented speech.
Rhetorical questions are realized in different constructions:

1. 
   Interrogative sentences (general and special questions): Is there such a thing as a happy life? And if there is, would it be the most desirable life? What can any woman mean to a man in comparison with his mother?
   
2. 
   Interrogative-negative constructions: Who has not seen a woman hide the dullness of a stupid husband? Have I not had to wrestle with my lot?
   
3. 
   A rhetorical question contains the modal verb “should” + “but”: Whom should they light but Rebecca and her husband?
   
4. 
   Declarative sentences: So it was wicked, like being smutty, to feel happy when you looked at things and read Keats?
   
5. 
   Infinitive constructions take part in the building of rhetorical questions to express indignation: A man like Matthew Brodie to return home at the childish hour of ten o’clock?
   

The SF of rhetorical questions is to express doubt, assertion or suggestion. Rhetorical questions are often used in publicistic style. They are most popular in poetry:
They come shaking in triumph their long, green hair:
They come out of the sea and run shouting by the shore.
My heart, have you no wisdom this to despair?
My love, my love, my love, why have left me alone?
