{"product_id":"what-is-rhetoric-michel-meyer-9780198847236","title":"What Is Rhetoric?","description":"This book offers a new approach to the principles and functioning of rhetoric. In everyday life, we often debate issues or simply discuss questions. Rhetoric is the way in which we answer questions in an interpersonal context, when we want to have an effect on those with whom we are communicating. They can be convinced or charmed, persuaded or influenced, and the language used can range from reasoning to the sharing of narratives, literary or otherwise. \u003cem\u003eWhat is Rhetoric?\u003c\/em\u003e provides a breakthrough in the field, offering a systematic and unified view of the topic. The book combines the social aspects of rhetoric, such as the negotiation of distance between speakers, with the theory of emotions. All the principal authors from Plato and Aristotle to contemporary theorists are integrated into Michel Meyer's 'problematological' conception of rhetoric, based on the primacy of questioning and answering in language and thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michel Meyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198847238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198847236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford Univ PR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Michel Meyer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47520231424255,"sku":"9780198847236","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fb09ced7-32ed-4b48-ab27-b6047a701cc5.jpg?v=1762884337","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-is-rhetoric-michel-meyer-9780198847236","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
