Book Synopsis A Glossary of Rhetorical Terms by : Gregory T Howard
Download or read book A Glossary of Rhetorical Terms written by Gregory T Howard and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every writer desires to write more effectively, every speaker wishes to deliver more powerful orations, and every person wants to communicate more clearly. Those who achieve clarity and effectiveness usually stumble upon it eventually over many years of practice and repetition. Rhetoric makes this process more efficient and effective by providing writers or speakers with the tools to analyze and improve upon their own formal communication. This resource contains over 400 rhetorical devices and definitions. These devices are the music notes of communication. Their study and proper use allow individuals to intricately orchestrate their thoughts and ideas into clear and beautiful statements, sentences, and speeches.
Book Synopsis Glossary of Greek Rhetorical Terms Connected to Methods of Argumentation, Figures and Tropes from Anaximenes to Quintilian by : R. Dean Anderson
Download or read book Glossary of Greek Rhetorical Terms Connected to Methods of Argumentation, Figures and Tropes from Anaximenes to Quintilian written by R. Dean Anderson and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2000 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Glossary was written as a companion volume to Anderson's Ancient Rhetorical Theory and Paul. It is of course far more than a glossary in the strict sense of that word, providing the reader with a brief overview of the varied use of a given term in the works of the rhetorical theorists from Anaximenes (end of the 4th century BC) through to Quintilian (end of the first century AD). For this time period an attempt has been made to provide the reader with an exhaustive list of referencess to the primary texts. The Glossary is primarily intended as an aid to those attempting to use and apply Greek rhetorical methods of argumentation (excluding the theoretical stasis terminology), figures and tropes to literature of the Hellenistic and early Imperial period. That is, however, not to say that use of this glossary may not be handy for those wishing to utilise later sources. Whilst the Glossary also includes reference to later sources where these illuminate concepts functioning within the target period, the use of this work in conjunction with the reading of late rhetorical sources should aid the reader in determining where theoretical or terminological development is taking place, and where the sources are clearly relying upon traditional concepts. The Glossary is not intended to replace the study of primary rhetorical texts, but to facilitate this study by providing a brief overview and by pointing the reader to appropriate passages in various works which may then be further consulted.

Book Synopsis Prose Fiction: An Introduction to the Semiotics of Narrative by : Ignasi Ribó
Download or read book Prose Fiction: An Introduction to the Semiotics of Narrative written by Ignasi Ribó and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2019-12-13 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concise and highly accessible textbook outlines the principles and techniques of storytelling. It is intended as a high-school and college-level introduction to the central concepts of narrative theory – concepts that will aid students in developing their competence not only in analysing and interpreting short stories and novels, but also in writing them. This textbook prioritises clarity over intricacy of theory, equipping its readers with the necessary tools to embark on further study of literature, literary theory and creative writing. Building on a ‘semiotic model of narrative,’ it is structured around the key elements of narratological theory, with chapters on plot, setting, characterisation, and narration, as well as on language and theme – elements which are underrepresented in existing textbooks on narrative theory. The chapter on language constitutes essential reading for those students unfamiliar with rhetoric, while the chapter on theme draws together significant perspectives from contemporary critical theory (including feminism and postcolonialism). This textbook is engaging and easily navigable, with key concepts highlighted and clearly explained, both in the text and in a full glossary located at the end of the book. Throughout the textbook the reader is aided by diagrams, images, quotes from prominent theorists, and instructive examples from classical and popular short stories and novels (such as Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Franz Kafka’s ‘The Metamorphosis,’ J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter, or Dostoyevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov, amongst many others). Prose Fiction: An Introduction to the Semiotics of Narrative can either be incorporated as the main textbook into a wider syllabus on narrative theory and creative writing, or it can be used as a supplementary reference book for readers interested in narrative fiction. The textbook is a must-read for beginning students of narratology, especially those with no or limited prior experience in this area. It is of especial relevance to English and Humanities major students in Asia, for whom it was conceived and written.

Book Synopsis Encyclopedia of Rhetoric by : Thomas O. Sloane
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Rhetoric written by Thomas O. Sloane and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 853 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of Rhetoric is a comprehensive survey of the latest research--as well as the foundational teachings--in this broad field. Featuring 150 original, signed articles by leading scholars from many different fields of study it brings together knowledge from classics, philosophy, literature, literary theory, cultural studies, speech and communications. The Encyclopedia surveys basic concepts (speaker, style and audience); elements; genres; terms (fallacies, figures of speech); and the rhetoric of non-Western cultures and cultural movements. It covers rhetoric as the art of proof and persuasion; as the language of public speech and communication; and as a theoretical approach and critical tool used in the study of literature, art, and culture at large, including new forms of communication such as the internet. The Encyclopedia is the most wide ranging reference work of its kind, combining theory, history, and practice, with a special emphasis on public speaking, performance and communication. Cross-references, bibliographies after each article, and synoptic and topical indexes further enhance the work. Written for students, teachers, scholars and writers the Encyclopedia of Rhetoric is the definitive reference work on this powerful discipline.
Book Synopsis An Introduction to Rhetorical Terms by : Christopher Kelen
Download or read book An Introduction to Rhetorical Terms written by Christopher Kelen and published by Humanities-Ebooks. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Introduction to Rhetorical Terms gives students a handy reference to the background knowledge of rhetorical terms demanded of them by critical and theoretical texts in the humanities. An important part of the vocabulary of cultural criticism and theory today is in the rhetorical terms we read and write, reason and refute by. These are the means by which we tell and receive the stories that explain the world. This book is divided into three sections, the first dealing with classical and traditional figures (such as simile, metaphor and metonomy), the second dealing with non-figures and near-tropes (like signs and symbols), the final section of the book devoted to new figures, and to rhetoric and tropology today. This last section familiarizes the reader with many new rhetorical terms employed in post-structural criticism and theory (terms like bricolage, differend and différance). Through the study of rhetoric – old and new – one learns how meaning is made. It is through that kind of understanding one gets to decide what to mean.
