Speech

Rhetoric

It is the most general term of rhetoric to indicate the various species of compositions considered especially compared to diction. It includes/understands any continuation of words pronounced with a certain method, a determined intention, and addressed either at an assembly, or with some people or even with only one.

One distinguishes, according to the circumstances of time and place, according to the audience, the subject or the goal, as many kinds of speech than there are kinds of eloquence.

To the Platform, i.e. to the political eloquence refer all the popular political discourses, harangues, short speeches, military proclamations, etc

To the bar or the legal eloquence, all the pleas, indictments, reprimands, philippic, etc refer

To the eloquence of the pulpit and the academic kind, all the sermons, homélies refer, preach, panegyrics, funeral orations, oratorical praises, essays, etc

The speech is divided in a certain number of more or less essential divisions, Exorde, Proposition, Narration, Confirmation, Réfutation, Péroraison, which are since old the object of a study and special rules in this part of the Rhétorique called Disposition.

Linguistics

One can, also, try to define the speech by referring to the factors which are clean for him: one I articulate form-directions according to YOU. The articulatory functions include, of course, of the structural elements (structuring) but so persuasive, without exclusiveness none between these two categories (porous) of form-direction. This articulation is held at the time and the precise place (and locatable) when it I address myself to YOU.

Typology, models, theories of the speech

Emile Benveniste insists on the opposition speech (personal) // account (impersonal.

Michel Foucault devotes three works to the definition of a typology of the discourses made up of stated S and parallel with the Visibilités.

Titrate works

The Satire S and the epistle S of Horace bear the name of Sermones . Voltaire called Discours in worms philosophical poems of a restricted extent that up to that point one named Essai S, and who do not have the erudite composition of a regular work.

To, the title of speech was daily given to opuscules and booklets of circumstance, of which several have today a great interest of bibliographical curiosity. epithet S explanatory were generally added to it to highlight the subject or the character of récrit: full and very-true Discours , Discours with the vray , admirable Discours , unquestionable Discours , deplorable Discours , facetious, merry, very-entertaining Discours , marvellous Discours, merveillable, miraculous, terrible , Discours either melancholic person that various , etc
