| Abstract | ||
| This paper is an attempt to study rhetorical questions (RQs) in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and Hamlet. The study is hoped to achieve the following aims: investigating the numbers, employments and the functions of RQs in the two plays; showing the most common pragmatic functions of RQs from both Speech Act and Argumentation points of view; examining the influence of context on the pragmatic interpretations of RQs; and displaying how one function is used for different literary purposes in these plays. To achieve these aims, it is hypothesized that: RQs are used more often in Hamlet than in Twelfth Night for different employments and functions; from Speech Acts point of view, rebuke is the most common function, whereas from the Argumentation point of view, fallacy of argument appeal to personal involvement is the most common one;pragmatic functions of RQs in the plays vary according to their contexts; one function is used for different literary purposes in the plays | ||
