Ethnic appeal: A self-defense tool for Kenyan politicians

So far, analyses of apologetic rhetoric strategies as used by individuals or organizations to respond to accusations of wrongdoing have been concentrated in the West. An analysis of political apologia in an African setting – in this case Kenya – reveals that while Kenyan politicians have used denial, victimization, mortification, and counterattacking among other self-defense strategies, one particular strategy emerges as the most commonly used by Kenyan politicians – ethnic appeal.     

汉维语修辞民族特色的对比分析

修辞具有民族性,不同的民族有不同的文化传统、不同的生存环境、不同的风俗习惯、不同的心理状态、不同的思维方式、不同的社会心理,因而对同一客观事物也就可能产生不同的主观感受,表现出对同一概念的不同的修辞色彩。文章试从修辞的视角对汉维两种语言进行对比分析,从语音、文字、词汇和语法系统四个方面揭示汉维语言修辞的民族特色。     

新修辞理论视域中的外宣翻译研究——以茂名市外宣翻译为例

外宣翻译是对外宣传的主要桥梁,也是一项跨文化的修辞活动。修辞理论与外宣翻译的结合是外宣翻译研究领域中一个较新的视角。借用以伯克为代表提出的新修辞理论中的"认同"和"象征"两个概念,以茂名市外宣翻译为语料,从中英文词汇、句式和篇章的修辞差异三个方面研究了修辞理论能有效指导和批评外宣翻译实践。     

再谈"寻常词语艺术化"

“寻常词语艺术化”是张弓先生在《现代汉语修辞学》一书中提出的一个十分重要的课题,有一定的理论价值的。虽然限于当时修辞的发展水平,这一课题在提出之初有其缺陷性,但是瑕不掩瑜,“寻常词语艺术化”这一理论终究在汉语修辞发展史上发出璀璨耀眼的光芒,指引后来者继续前进。

面纱后面传来的声音--《从奴隶制中奋起》的文体与修辞技巧及其黑人身份认同危机

<从奴隶制中奋起>是著名的非裔美国人政治家布克·华盛顿撰写的自传.叙述者在叙述"我"的近乎传奇般的经历过程中通过对词语修饰(重复)、举例、概括与具体化,以及引用的巧妙运用,发出了拯救"黑人民族"的强音.但历史地看,华盛顿在该自传中所发出的不过是来自其黑色"面纱"背后的卑微、谦逊和规训的声音,深刻地反映了美国黑人在追求民族解放的过程中所存在的巨大而危险的身份认同危机.     

试论修辞叙事学的修辞效果

对修辞叙事学修辞效果的研究是修辞叙事学研究的主要内容。效果研究是一个开放的研究领域,作者通过文本在读者那里达到的效果是一个复杂的存在,因此,这种研究带有某种尝试性。对叙事修辞效果的研究首先是对产生效果的基础进行分析,探讨影响效果的诸种因素,然后,对叙事修辞的各种效果再进行具体的分析。     

Truth and Rhetoric: The Promise of John Dean's Memory to the Discipline of Psychology

The paper unpacks the far‐reaching theoretical and practical issues that underlay the classical debate between cognitive psychologist Ulric Neisser and discursive social psychologists Derek Edwards and Jonathan Potter on Watergate witness John Dean's memory. Accounting for their disagreements, Neisser claimed the mantle of the cognitive‐ecological approach to memory and emphasized the psychologist's ultimate priority of truth over discourse, while Edwards and Potter claimed that of discursive/rhetorical psychology and focused exclusively on discourse over truth. As such, the debate at the time ended in mutual misunderstanding and the shadow of theoretical incommensurability. However, a rhetorical analysis of the arguments suggests that Neisser was right about truth when he intuitively sensed the importance of discourse, and Edwards and Potter were right about discourse when they did not lose sight of truth. Therefore, beyond the impasse there has remained a promise inherent in the debate: it demonstrated an imaginative attempt to undermine the absolute dichotomy of truth and rhetoric and demonstrate their mutual inter‐dependence. As will be argued, such integration of traditional concerns of the psychologist entails the re‐conceptualization of the discipline as political and moral science.     

Rhetorical Theory and the Critique of National Identity Construction

A striking feature of scholarship on national identity is the relative absence of rhetorical theory, or theory related to the persuasive dimensions of discourse, especially given the fact that rhetorical theorists have been concerned with the manufacturing of public opinion and collective identity for over two millennia. To address this absence, this article discusses how rhetorical theories dealing with narrative theory, the social construction of publics, rhetorical constraints, ideology critique, public memory, political history and post-national identity help both to illuminate and critique emergent patterns of national identification.
