I have been wondering if this particular speaking device had a specific name. My wife uses a speaking technique where, instead of just making a statement, she presents it in the form of a question, and then immediately answers her own question. For example, instead of saying
> I think you are wrong.
she would say,
> Do I think you are wrong? Yes.
Or, similarly, instead of
> I hate when he does that.
she would say
> Do I hate when he does that? Yes.
Does this particular technique have a name? I have been trying to Google this, but have been stumped as to exactly what to search for.
