Аннотация

This scientific paper explores the variations in interrogative sentences based on social factors such as profession, gender, and age. Interrogative sentences, as an essential tool of communication, play a significant role in obtaining information, directing conversations, and managing social interactions. The study analyzes how professionals in different fields structure and use questions according to the communicative norms of their occupations. It also examines linguistic differences in how men and women form and use questions, highlighting gender-specific communication strategies. Age-related patterns of interrogatives are studied through the speech of children, adolescents, and the elderly.
