Abstract
Question-answer structural-content unity is the most important way of unfolding a monologic text. This way of unfolding is used in sermons of various kinds and determines the general semantic movement of the text. In the question-answer unity a single question or, more often, a chain of questions can be used, which activate the listeners' thought and perform the following functions: marking the nodal positions of the text; linking parts of the text; forming a certain emotional state of the listeners. The response part of the unity, as a rule, contains a behavioral example connected with the biographies of saints and containing a sample of proper behavior and attitude to the indicated problem.
