Anacoenosis is a figure of speech in which the speaker poses a question to an audience in a way that demonstrates a common interest.
It can also be classified as a hyponym of rhetorical questions, where Anacoenosis notably invites the reader to cogitate on the subject at hand either through the formation of their own opinion or judgment.
