A definition of rhetoric

A modest but pragmatic, easy-to-hang-onto definition of rhetoric from Stoner and Perkins:

The art and science of creating and analyzing "messages that rely on verbal and nonverbal symbols that more or less intentionally influence social attitudes, values, beliefs, and actions." (6)

Elements of the rhetorical situation in detail

• immediate occasion
• exigence
• issue
• types of discourse that can be used to address the situatin
• judicial - to make judgements on the past
• deliberative - to consider for the future
• epideictic - to praise or blame, celebrate, in the present
• forum and genre in that forum
• historical and cultural context in which the immediate occasion exists
• presuppositions are part of this cultural context that are (more or less) shared by rhetor and listener

Tips and Suggestions

• The Overwrite warning. If you save a page, then use the back button rather than double-clicking to get back to editing, you might get an Overwrite warning in red. That only means the wiki is confused. Select all the text you're editing, copy it, then Cancel the save. After you save, see if the version is complete. It usually is. But if not, double-click to edit the page, select everything, then paste the version you have on the clipboard into the wiki and save.
