Keywords: interrogatives; communication; sender-receiver; manipulation;
Summary/Abstract: The present article intends to draw attention towards the necessity to handle interrogatives in the appropriate manner, in order to convey the intended message. It means to prove that a well-built question may be able to imply, suggest, even impose its answer to the recipient; therefore, it might be considered as a soft act of manipulation in communication.
