Abstract

Use of Rhetorical Expression in both written and spoken, is a technique that an author or speaker uses to grab the attention of listener or reader. Rhetorical Expressions make headlines or articulations sensational, eye-catching and attractive through the meaning which inheritance in them and they convey the intention or message of the author or speaker to the listener or reader without any intervening time or space or instantly. Rhetorical devices such as figurative like Personification, Simile, Metaphor, Metonymy, Euphemism, Antithesis, Irony, Pun, and so on, can be used to evoke an emotional response in the audience, but that is not their primary purpose.

Data for the present article have been collected from the above-mentioned newspapers (Dated Nov. 20^th, 2018 to Dec. 20^th, 2018). 186 Rhetorical expressions have been traced out while collecting and analyzing the data.
