Key Elements of Rhetoric
Nowadays, the word “rhetoric” is often used to signal deception.
Rhetoric means the effective use of language to communicate an idea.
Rhetoric can serve sincerity (as in Lou Gehrig’s speech) as well as trickery.

Key Elements of Rhetoric
Context and Purpose are essential to analyzing effective rhetoric.
First, consider the context: occasion, time, place;
Then, consider the purpose: What is the speaker’s goal in this communication?

SPEAKER: The voice that tells the story. The author and the speaker are NOT necessarily the same.
When analyzing non-fiction, consider important facts about speaker, from the text, that will help assess his/her point of view or position.
![Page 11: Chapter 1 Review An Introduction to Rhetoric: Using the “Available Means”](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649cec5503460f949b9110/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

When discussing the speaker of an essay, the author’s name is never enough. Question: what do we know about the speaker by reading the text?
![Page 12: Chapter 1 Review An Introduction to Rhetoric: Using the “Available Means”](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649cec5503460f949b9110/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

OCCASION: (part of the context): The time and place of the piece; the context that encouraged the writing to happen. Writing does not occur in a vacuum.
• Larger Occasion: an environment of ideas and emotions that swirl around a broad issue.
• Immediate Occasion: an event or situation that catches the writer’s attention and triggers a response.

AUDIENCE:
The group of readers or listeners to whom this piece is directed.
The audience may be one person, a small group, or a large group; it may be a certain person or a certain people.

SOAPStone
PURPOSE: The reason behind the text. The author/speaker’s GOAL in the communication.
Consider the purpose of the text in order to examine the argument and its logic.
“What does the speaker want the audience to think or do as a result of reading this text?”

what he or she is talking about.The speaker’s ethos is his expertise,
knowledge, experience, training, sincerity, or a combination.

Logical Fallacies
Attractive but unreliable pieces of reasoning.
![Page 27: Chapter 1 Review An Introduction to Rhetoric: Using the “Available Means”](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649cec5503460f949b9110/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Logical Fallacies
Relying too heavily on ethos (such as celebrity endorsement) without corroborating logos, can be a fallacy.
Relying too much on emotion without corroborating logos, can be a fallacy.
![Page 28: Chapter 1 Review An Introduction to Rhetoric: Using the “Available Means”](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649cec5503460f949b9110/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Important Note
When analyzing, we refer to appealing to ethos, logos or pathos
We NEVER say the author uses ethos logos or pathos.

Logos
Is generally considered the strongest form of persuasion.

Another element of rhetoric: organization of an essay or speech.

ArrangementClassic arrangement:
Introduction: draws the reader inNarration: facts and backgroundConfirmation: main part developing the
proofRefutation: addresses the
counterargumentConclusion: appeal to pathos, reminds
reader of ethos established earlier. Answers the question, “so what?”
