Abstract
This article delves into the dynamic role of interrogative-imperative sentences as a dual force in communication. Through an interdisciplinary lens, it explores how these hybrid structures wield power in various contexts, from persuasive rhetoric to everyday discourse. By examining their linguistic, psychological, and sociocultural dimensions, this study uncovers the nuanced mechanisms through which interrogative-imperative sentences influence cognition and behavior. Through empirical analysis and theoretical synthesis, it illuminates the potency of this linguistic phenomenon and its implications for effective communication strategies.
