Publisher's Synopsis
The Science of Rhetoric: An Introduction to the Laws of Effective Discourse is a comprehensive guide to the principles and techniques of persuasive communication. Written by David J. Hill, this book explores the art of rhetoric, which is the study of how language can be used to influence and persuade others. The book begins by introducing the basic concepts of rhetoric, including the three main appeals (ethos, logos, and pathos) and the five canons of rhetoric (invention, arrangement, style, memory, and delivery). It then delves into the various strategies and techniques that can be used to craft effective arguments, such as using evidence and examples, using rhetorical devices like repetition and parallelism, and structuring arguments in a logical and compelling way.Throughout the book, Hill provides numerous examples of effective rhetoric from a variety of sources, including political speeches, advertising campaigns, and legal arguments. He also includes exercises and activities to help readers develop their own rhetorical skills.Overall, The Science of Rhetoric is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to improve their communication skills and learn how to craft persuasive arguments.
