MODERN RHETORIC -Brooks & Warren
Rhetoric is defined as the art of using language so as to persuade or influence others; the body of rules to be observed by a speaker or writer in order that he may express himself with eloquence. We use language chiefly for exposition, argument, description, and narration. He uses any or all the different methods to persuade his reader.
1. Exposition is defined as the action of setting forth, or of explaining; a detailed explanation or interpretation. The methods of exposition can be in any one of the following forms: (i) Identification (ii) Definition (iii) Classification (iv) Illustration (v) Comparison and contract analysis (vi) Analysis
(i) Identification is defined as the action of treating something as the same as some other thing. It asks the question “what is it? Or “who is he?” it is a kind of pointing by means of language. Identification as be as simple as “it is an apple” or “he is Mr.-----“ or as elaborate as follows:
The caramel mission just stands outside the village or Monterey, California. It Was founded by padre juniper Serra, who had come up from san Diego in 1770s.
If identification becomes elaborate, it tends to overlap with definition or use of analysis, comparison or contrast. Sometimes it may be lost in other more interesting methods.
(ii)Definition is a word derived from Latin. ‘De’ means with relation to and ‘finis’ means ‘limit’. A definition means the limiting of a word. Strictly speaking we can say that a definition is not of a thing but of a word. We have a right to know how a term is used. A Definition is any word or group of words that constitute a unit of meaning. That refers to one thing or idea. Knowledge of the thing is essential for making a definition regarding it. A definition is always cast in the form of an equation A is B. There will always be two terms in a definition: the to be defined and the definer. And the two terms are equated. To be defined =the
