RHETORIC QUESTION –presents a negative or affirmative statement in the form of a question. The emphatic character of rhetoric question draws the attention of the reader even when the latter is not supposed to answer anything, when the possible answer is implied within the boundaries of the question itself.

e.g. Can anybody answer for all the grievances of the poor in this wicked world? (Ch. Dickens)

Rhetoric question is an indispensable element of the oratorical style, but it is not confined to it only, more and more penetrating into other styles. It is widely used in modern fiction for depicting the inner state of a character, his meditations and reflections.

PARCELLATION– is a deliberate break of the sentence structure into two or more isolated parts, separated by a pause. Parcellation is typical of the colloquial type of speech.

The stylistic functions of parcellation are:

1. It is used for specification of the idea of the basic part.

e.g. They would appear with soup. Thin and watery. (P. White. Riders).

2. It is used to characterize the emotional state of mind of the personages.

e.g. Then the pain began. Slow. Deliberate. Methodical. And professional. (H. Bobbins. The Betsy).

3. Parcellation may fulfill the descriptive function, depicting the conditions and the details of the events described.

e.g. My hubby has hung himself. In the bathroom.With the cord. (P. White. Riders).
