Introduction to Rhetorical Techniques “The duty and office of rhetoric is to apply reason to imagination for the better moving of the will.” – Francis Bacon

Devices of Repetition Anaphora: repetition at the beginning of a series of clauses or sentences. “ …a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant,and a time to pluck up that which is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up…” –Ecclesiastes Can you think of other famous examples?

Devices of Repetition Epistrophe: repetition at the end of multiple clauses or sentences. “In old age we laugh at our past, sigh for our past, cry out over our past.”

Devices of Repetition Anadiplosis: takes the last word of a sentence or phrase and repeats it near the beginning of the next sentence or phrase. “In education we find the measure of our own ignorance; in ignorance we find the beginning of wisdom.”

? Devices of Questioning ? Rhetorical Question: a question whose answer is implied “For what can war but endless war breed?” --John Milton

Devices of Questioning Anthypophora: the technique of asking a question, then proceeding to answer it. “You may well ask: ‘Why direct action? Why sit-ins, marches and so forth? Isn’t negotiation a better path?’ Indeed, this is the very purpose of direct action.” -- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

= Devices of Comparison = Metaphor, Simile, Allusion Antithesis: makes use of a contrast in language to bring out a contrast in ideas. That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” –Neil Armstrong “I am not interested in punishing banks, I'm interested in protecting our economy.” – President Obama

Devices of Syntax Parallelism: using the same general structure for multiple parts of a sentence in order to link them all. “The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessing; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.” –Winston Churchill

Devices of Syntax Telegraphic Sentence: 6 words or fewer Asyndeton: leaves out conjunctions in a list or between clauses Polysyndeton: inclusion of grammatically unnecessary conjunctions in a list or between clauses. “America’s main streets and malls now boast the same Pizza Huts and Taco Bells, Gaps and Banana Republics, Starbucks and Jiffy-Lubes, Foot Lockers, Snip N’Clips, Sunglass Huts, and Hobbytown USAs.” – Eric Schlosser
