Dialogue and rhetoric

Edición de la obra Dialogue and rhetoric

"The volume deals with the relationship between dialogue and rhetoric. The actual state of the art in dialogue analysis is characterized by a tendency to overcome the distinction between competence and performance and to combine components from both sides of the dichotomy, in a way which includes rules as well as inferences. The same is true of rhetoric: the guidelines proposed here no longer state that rationality and persuasion are mutually exclusive but suggest that they interact in what might be called 'the mixed game'. The concept of a dialogic rhetoric thus poses the question of how to integrate the different voices."--Jacket.
