emergence and formation of the journalistic style,
which has its place among the functional styles of
the Uzbek language, goes back to the end of the
19th century and the beginning of the 20th
century.
Each of the types of simple sentences used in
newspaper language has its own linguistic
features. Such specificity is also present in
interrogative sentences. It is known that
interrogative sentences "express a question
about an object, action-state, sign unknown to the
speaker. In interrogative sentences, the
interlocutor is encouraged to answer the
speaker's question and express his attitude to it.
In addition, interrogative sentences can express
such meanings as surprise, surprise, excitement,
command, suspicion expressed by questioning.
Interrogative sentences are divided into two
opposite groups according to the nature of the
expected answer.
The first group includes interrogative sentences
that require confirmation or denial. In this case,
an interrogative sentence is formed without
interrogative pronouns, through intonation or
interrogative loads, the sentence contains
something unknown to the speaker, the name of
an event. Such interrogative sentences are mostly
formed using the preposition -mi.
Interrogative sentences are also an important
methodological tool in critical materials. In this,
the question about an object, action-state, sign
unknown to the author of the text, or the inner
experiences of the depicted person, the
journalist's attitude are expressed. In the
interrogative sentences used in the article, the
listener is encouraged to answer, to express his
attitude to the issues raised as a problem in the
critical material. In addition, interrogative
sentences can express different meanings
depending on the problem raised in the critical
article. Sometimes a journalist seeks to know a lot
of things that are unknown to him. At this time,
the article asks one question after another. This
serves to make the idea more effective.
For example, "Isn't it inconceivable that we can
openly expose scandalous situations that are
covered by a veil, contrary to the moral standards
of our society?" (Sari Adolat, 2013.28.10), "You
may also have a question: is this place a teahouse
or a cafe?" What is the dictionary meaning of the
word "Andaro"? Is it possible that there is no
word in the lexicon of our native language that
can be a suitable name for this or that cafe-tea
house? (Family and society, 2011.12.01),
"However, how can one measure the trampled
human honor and dignity of a girl who has not yet
opened one flower out of ten flowers?" What
about the suffering of his family members?"
(Family and society, 2011.23.02), "Today's young
people have no integrity, won't you at least
respect my age? Will you stick to the phone for
example?' (Family and society, 2011.23.02),
"After all, the people whose spiritual and spiritual
world is being polluted are someone's sisters,
someone's brother, or someone's child! Most
importantly, aren't they the owners of the great
future we believe in?" ..” (Towards Justice,
2013.28.10)

In the above example, the surprise and
excitement of the journalist is revealed through
the interrogative pronouns used in the
interrogative sentences.
Dialogues are also used in critical materials. The
question used here serves to confirm or deny the
ideas expressed in the sentences:
It's been a long time. It was dark and it was past
midnight. Jahangir woke up from someone
shouting. He looked at a stranger. His eyes are
blank, anger and sadness are visible in his eyes.
-
Yes, come on, what's the matter?
-
Where is my wife?
-
I don't understand, what kind of woman, what
are you talking about?
-
Don't make yourself a target, people saw you
talking to my wife.
Jahangir seemed to understand who he was
talking about. (Towards Justice, 2013.22.11).
In the following critical article, interrogative
sentences were used in order to shed light on the
work of the person described in the newspaper
and to create a complete picture of him: For
example, "a woman gives her husband a fast-
acting medicine and says: "It turns out that if her
husband is sick, it's not necessary?" (Turkestan,
2009.02.05).
Interrogative sentences sometimes contain an
interrogative pronoun that serves for emphasis.
But why don't our young people who fall into the
trap of fraudsters listen to the advice of our
elderly people?! What about the neighborhood
where those guys live? Why don't they study the
thoughts and dreams of children and give them
the necessary advice? Therefore, shouldn't each
of us always feel that we are involved in the fate
of our children?! (Man and Law, 2010.30.03).
In critical articles, in order to strengthen the
influence of his thoughts on newspaper readers,
the journalist uses words expressing surprise
rather than the means of expressing the content
of the question:
I wonder if Pirmuhammad Abdullah Khan II is
uncle or nephew?
If these are different people, why is it not written
clearly and comprehensibly for an eighth-grader?
After all, there should be a difference in the years
of their rule in which city they ruled or in other
aspects? (Darakchi, 2013.09.05).
And in the 8th grade "World History" it is shown
that "for 240 years Russia was dependent on the
Golden Horde and then on the Mongols" (NMIU
named after Cholpon, 2010, p. 29).
A reasonable question arises here. Did the Mongol
rule in Russian lands last 250 years or 240 years?
(Darakchi, 2013.09.05).
In critical articles, the interlocutor sometimes
expresses his attitude through interrogative
sentences instead of confirming or denying the
opinions of the speaker. In this case, the
interlocutor answers the speaker's question with
a question. Such sentences in our language are
interrogative sentences. This is also evident in the
text of open letters, which are considered as

critical material: I ask myself the question: why
did I get "three" out of all four entrance exams,
even though my certificate was all "five", why?!
After all, I tried to study well! Why did I get a low
grade?
...Unable to find answers to these questions, I
went to military service. The first obstacle I
encountered there was my lack of knowledge of
the Russian language. Then I seemed to have
found the answer to the question that arose when
I was unable to study. But was this the complete
answer? ("An open letter to teachers" Zarafshan,
31.01.1992).
Sometimes the text may not use pronouns and
prepositions that express the content of the
question. If these tools are used, the meaning of
emphasis is exaggerated. At this time, critical
articles will be emotional and expressive. The
journalist uses interrogative sentences to show
that the speaker wants to know the person, sign,
place, time, reason, and purpose of the action. At
this time, the name of something unknown to the
speaker is referred to in the sentence, and
interrogative pronouns are included in the
sentence.
Sometimes interrogative sentences of this type
include -mi. This reinforces the meaning of the
question.
In interrogative sentences, in addition to the
content of pure inquiry, it can also express the
meaning of confirmation and command.
Accordingly, interrogative sentences in our
language are divided into three types: pure,
rhetorical, and interrogative sentences. All three
types of such statements can be found in
newspaper language. Although the meaning of the
real question can be understood from the content
of the interrogative sentences, they do not
actually expect an answer from the newspaper.
For example, "Do you know what documents are
needed to get a loan?" (Zarafshon, 2013.30.03),
"What can be done to improve the supply of
natural gas in Yoshlar street 3, Nurabad city?"
(Zarafshon, 2013.30.03), "Who goes to military
service?" (Zarafshon, 2013.05.02).
Rhetorical interrogative sentences are also used
to a certain extent in newspaper language. In such
cases, it is reported through the form of asking. It
is known that they do not demand an answer
from the newspaper. The answer can be
understood from the question asked by the
journalist or by the hero of the journalistic text. In
rhetorical interrogative sentences in spoken
speech, their answer can be given by a part of the
sentence or by the words yes or no. In newspaper
language, there is no need to answer these
questions. Rhetorical interrogative sentences are
observed in journalistic texts that are combined
with artistic creativity. In such rhetorical
interrogatives, in addition to simply informing
the newspaper about changes in daily life, science,
art and culture, politics, production and industry,
emotionality and modality are strong. . Rhetorical
interrogative
sentences
are
used
very
productively in the newspaper essay genre. For
example, in the "Zarafshon" newspaper, such
rhetorical questions were used as an expression
of the journalist's attitude: “Go‘zallik saloni
kasallik uyasimi?” (Zarafshon, 2013.05.02)

In the above example, the surprise and
excitement of the journalist is revealed through
the interrogative pronouns used in the
interrogative sentences. The colorful words in the
text, as an expression of attitude, are part of the
sentence, and the meaning of surprise and
admiration is strengthened. Among simple
sentences used in newspaper language,
interrogative sentences can be divided into
interrogative sentences that require confirmation
or denial. In them, interrogative sentences are
used in order to clarify the character and work
activity of the person described in the journalistic
text, and to create a complete picture of him in the
newspapers.
Sometimes simple sentences may not use
pronouns and prepositions expressing the
content of the question. If these tools are used in
simple sentences, the journalist pays special
attention to certain points, the meaning of
emphasis is exaggerated.
In one or another form of publicistic text, a
journalist should give information to newspaper
readers about the changes and news that are
happening in the life of society today, or about the
internal and external life of our country, and
about the person he is portraying. aims to provide
more complete information. The illocutionary act
becomes the goal of the journalist. When the
journalist brings up the most important and
urgent issues, he draws the public's attention to
the material published in the newspaper, conveys
to them certain information that he considers
necessary by means of command sentences. For
example, in the simple sentences with the content
of the following command, the goal of the
journalist to protect one's health formed a
pragmatic content: "Do sports" (People's Word,
2013.30.03), "Follow the doctor's advice"
(People's Word, 2013.13.03) as In imperative
sentences, the meaning of desire is reflected more
strongly. In addition, in the course of elucidating
the essence of the topic, the journalist can express
his various mental states, wishes, events
described in the newspaper, his anger, gratitude
or displeasure, suggestions or advice. All of them
are based on the illocutionary act.
In general, these forms of interrogative sentences
are typical for critical materials as well as for
other genres of the newspaper, they help the
journalist's thoughts to be clear and effective, and
to achieve their goals.
