Sentences are divided into four types of interrogative, declarative, imperative and exclamatory according to the way they are expressed and the way they present the concept in question. An interrogative sentence is a sentence in which the speaker seeks to obtain information about something by posing a question, yet the speaker's goal may not always be to get information as interrogative sentences are sometimes used for other purposes, called "secondary purposes". The secondary meanings of sentences are among the issues addressed in the realm of semantics and have been discussed by rhetoric scholars for a long time and are still of interest to researchers even in the fields of pragmatics and discourse analysis. The present paper examines interrogative sentences and their secondary purposes in the second book of Masnavi Ma'ani by following a descriptive-analytical method and relying on library resources. The purpose of this research is to determine what meanings Rumi intended to convey by using interrogative sentences in the second book of Masnavi and how successful he was in this regard.
