CHAPTER L POETIC DICTION-RHYTHM. "The object of prose," says Abbott, "is, in general, to convey information; that of poetry, to give pleasure. Hence the prose-writer, in his choice of a word, will prefer that which conveys his meaning most successfully: the poet will prefer that which gives most pleasure. It is true that each sort of writer will keep both objects in view at once, but what is the primary object to the one will be the secondary object to the other, and vice versa." Prom this general principle arise the following CHARACTERISTICS OF POETIC DICTION: --Note.--In revising pupils' paraphrases from verse to prose, it is often desirable to call the writer's attention to some case of poetic diction; hence these characteristics are numbered consecutively after the principles of style, and may be used similarly by placing the desired number in the margin of an essay for reference. 223. (1) It is Archaic.--It employs such words as "hallowed" (for holy), and "woe," "ken," "dire," "ire," "thrall," "steed," "charger," and many other such words that are not found in ordinary modern prose. "English Lessons for English People," p. 54. Abbott says further: "The explanation of the archaism of poetic diction seems to be this. Poetry, being less conversational than prose, is less affected than is prose by the changes of a living language, and more affected by the language and traditions of the poetry of past ages. Not all words are adapted for metre, and therefore the limitations of metre in themselves are sufficient to explain the preference in poetry for certain forms and words. These forms and words, constantly repeated by successive poets, become, as it were, the legitimate inheritance of all who write poetry. Thus...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Appeals in Modern Rhetoric: An Ordinary-Language Approach introduces students to current issues in rhetorical theory through an extended treatment of the rhetorical appeal, a frequently used but rarely discussed concept at the core of rhetorical analysis and criticism. Shunning the standard Aristotelian approach that treats ethos, pathos, and logos as modes of appeal, M. Jimmie Killingsworth uses common, accessible language to explain the concept of the rhetorical appeal—meaning the use of language to plead and to please. The result is a practical and innovative guide to understanding how persuasion works that is suitable for graduate and undergraduate courses yet still addresses topics of current interest to specialists. Supplementing the volume are practical and theoretical approaches to the construction and analysis of rhetorical messages and brief and readable examples from popular culture, academic discourse, politics, and the verbal arts. Killingsworth draws on close readings of primary texts in the field, referencing theorists to clarify concepts, while he decodes many of the basic theoretical constructs common to an understanding of identification. Beginning with examples of the model of appeals in social criticism, popular film, and advertising, he covers in subsequent chapters appeals to time, place, the body, gender, and race. Additional chapters cover the use of common tropes and rhetorical narrative, and each chapter begins with definitions of key concepts.

This book was released on 2022-12-13 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-authored by a novelist and a scholar, Speaking of Writing follows four college students from diverse backgrounds as they face the challenges of reading, writing, and critical thinking in first-year composition classes and across the disciplines. Each chapter engages students in relatable, often humorous scenarios that focus on key challenges. Through its story-based approach, this brief rhetoric enacts process-based pedagogy, showing student writers grappling with fundamental questions: How can I apply my own strategies for success to new assignments? How can I maintain my own voice when asked to compose in an academic style? What do college professors mean by a thesis? Why is my argument weak, and how can I make it stronger? The book vividly dramatizes a draft-and-revision process that includes instructor feedback, peer review, and careful research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Rhetoric Herbert spencer, in his Essay on the Philosophy of Style, 'observes that the maxims contained in works on composition and rhetoric are presented in an unorganized form, and proceeds to sys temize the scattered precepts under one leading principle, economy. But economy, while accounting for a large number of rhetorical phe nomena, fails to explain many procedures. This treatise attempts an answer to the question, Is further generalization possible? By deriving all rhetorical law from that principle of beauty known as harmony, or adaptation, - a principle which includes economy, as well as order, unity in variety, and proportion. It is believed that, if the learner at the outset can be made to comprehend this principle in its multitudinous lines of control, the explanation, through it, of the laws of literary diction and style, will acquire a novel and delight ful simplicity. During his twenty years' experience as a teacher of English Composition in the Rhetorical Department at Columbia Col lege, the author has always found that an understanding of reasons, of the wherefore of the rule, inspires the pupil with interest, and sharpens the receptive and the retentive faculties. What is memo rized as a desultory precept is generally left in the class room for exclusive application there; but what is apprehended as the expres sion of a universal and necessary law is made a part of the student's daily thought and practice. When the learner comes to realize that the primal principle of harmony satisfactorily accounts for the rhe torical laws that are unfolded in the successive lessons, he is on the watch, with the opening of each new topic, for a new application of his governing principle; and thus is kept on tension his interest in the philosophical development of the subject to the very last page. Throughout the instruction that follows, it is sought to treat the pupil as an intelligent creator of literature: hence, while the sub ject is introduced by a discussion of the great aesthetic truths that.

Book excerpt: This book is for anyone who wants to be a better writer, but it can be of most value to those making the move into more formal types of writing. Writers who are beginning college level courses and those who are applying their writing skills in business for the first time often find it "slow-going". Writing of a more formal nature is heavily dependent on particular structures and modes of thought. If you're a college student struggling through composition courses, you'll find practical and easy to follow guidance here. If you're a working professional looking for a way to elevate your writing to the next level, this book can help you get there. If you're looking for a way to improve your speeches, this book has many suggestions you can start using right away.The secret is using the art of rhetoric. The principles have been around for thousands of years, and the latest research into how our brains process meaning has confirmed that rhetoric works! Most books on rhetoric are dense and needlessly complex. You might have to buy a college textbook of hundreds of pages and then wade through it to try and extract the sparse information it may have on rhetoric. And you'll probably pay over $100 for the privilege.I've taught writing for over 25 years. I've used just about every approach to writing there is. I have also used many of the textbooks that make all kinds of promises about what they can do to improve writing outcomes. Unfortunately, students rarely get anything useful out of them, but they've sure paid for the "privilege" of having them available. This book is radically different. One of the first things you will notice is that is a surprisingly short book. That is by design. Though you might feel you would be getting more for your money if the book were three times longer and ten times more expensive you'd be wrong. What I've attempted to do in this book is distill the essence of rhetoric into an easy to use handbook-one that I wished my students could have had. I wanted to include everything I think all writers should know about rhetoric and composition. I've eliminated everything else. Don't let the word rhetoric frighten you away. This isn't rocket science. Writing is a process of practice and discovery. This is a handbook to take along with you on your writing journey. The book is divided into the following sections: An explanation of what rhetoric can do for you.A guide that will enable you to perform rhetorical analysis.An explanation of rhetorical structures.How audience appeals are used to form the basis of successful arguments.An explanation and examples of the most commonly used rhetorical forms.A quite inclusive explanation of rhetorical tools you can begin using right away to give your writing and speeches more power.
