What is the definition of a rhetorical speech?

A rhetorical question is a question which does not expect an answer. For example: "What's the use?" Rhetoric is speech which is more concerned with style than with content. Thus, a rhetorical speech would be a speech which sounds great, but doesn't say a whole lot.


What is the root work for rhetorical?

The root word for rhetorical is "rhetor," which comes from the Greek word "rhetorikos," meaning "oratorical or rhetorical."


What is the word for when a speaker asks question and then answers it himself such as when a coach speaking after a game might say Am I happy with my Quarterback's play No I am not?

First, let's hope that most of the time the coach is happy with the performance of his quarterback. That aside, the question is called 'rhetorical', not meant to be answered by the listener. It's not even necessary that the speaker answer it directly, as the coach does in the question. A speaker may ask a rhetorical question in the beginning of a speech or lecture, and then spend the next hour avoiding-- oh, I meant to say answering-- the question. The correct answer is "hypophora" which is the rhetorical technique of raising one or more questions and then proceeding to answer them. This differs from the answer above "rhetorical" in that a rhetorical question is not necessarily answered. It is related to a "procatalepsis" which is when the speaker anticpates an objection and then answers it.
