Ορισμός και Σημασία του "hypophora"

What is "hypophora"?

Hypophora is a rhetorical device where the speaker poses a question and then immediately answers it. This technique is used to engage the audience, introduce new ideas, or emphasize a point by addressing potential questions or concerns directly. For example, in a speech, a speaker might ask, "What is the key to success? Hard work and dedication." This approach helps clarify and reinforce the speaker’s message by providing an answer right after posing the question.
