Abstract
The article analyses the main functions of rhetorical questions in political speech. The author uses politician Heydar Aliyev's speeches as linguistic material. As Heydar Aliyev's speeches were mostly in the Azerbaijani language, the issue is considered based on the Azerbaijani language, which is very relevant for Azerbaijani linguistics. Heydar Aliyev's speech was rich in rhetorical questions. The article mentions that one of the syntactic means used in polemics is the rhetorical question used to make the address emotional and critical, thus paving the way for the rise of intonation. The author, summing up, writes that rhetorical questions increase the impact of speech on the audience, evoke emotion, and carry significant meaning and emotional load.
