		This rhetorical terminology was derived from three sources: directly to some extent from the classical rhetorics themselves; indirectly through the influence of classical rhetoric upon the terminology of the Italian critics of poetry; and indirectly, to a considerable extent, through the mediÃ¦val modifications of classical and post-classical rhetoric.
		Thus it is in the rhetorical treatises of England and Germany in the middle ages that rhetoric was to the greatest extent restricted to a consideration of style.
		And the rhetorical treatise or "_ars rhetorica_" often yielded to the "_ars prosandi_," or the "_ars dictandi_."[109] A characteristic treatise of this sort is the _Poetria_ of the Englishman John of Garland (c.

		Rhetoric Use in successive clauses of initial words which are the same or similar in meaning; as in: "The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the Lord is upon many waters.

		An apostrophe (' or ’) is a punctuation mark in languages written in the Latin alphabet.
		The use of the apostrophe to note possession in the English language derived from the Genitive case, but is now considered a Clitic.
		An apostrophe for punctuation should be drawn with a light curl (resembling an upsidedown comma), but U+0027 is nearly always drawn as a straight vertical line, and Unicode actually defines it must be drawn as such.

	Figure of speech - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A figure of speech, sometimes termed a rhetorical figure or device, or elocution, is a word or phrase that departs from straightforward, literal language.
		Most figures originated out of centuries of philological commentary on ancient texts, and so most are named from Greek or Latin, as they originally were meant to classify grammatical peculiarities of those languages.
		Some of those listed may be considered rhetorical devices, which are similar in many ways.

	Glossary of Literary Terms
		Apostrophe: In rhetoric the word is used to describe a sudden address to a person or personification.
		From the late sixteenth century an apostrophe was used, very irregularly, to indicate a possessive form of a noun: by the mid-nineteenth century it was established by convention that singular possessive forms should be indicated by "'s" ('the cat's pajamas') and that regular plural possessive forms should be indicated by "s'" ('my parents' house').
		Synecdoche: the rhetorical figure whereby a part is substituted for a whole ('a suit entered the room'), or, less usually, in which a whole is substituted for a part (as when a policeman is called 'the law' or a manager is called 'the management').

		The term "narrative apostrophe" is an effective way to describe anomalous communicative circuits of second-person narrative fiction.
		The double address of apostrophe to the apostrophized and to the orator's audience parallels that in second-person fiction to the narratee-protagonist and to the actual reader.
		This rhetorical model accounts more fully than does traditional narratology for demonstrated confusions among real readers, inscribed readers, and narratees and suggests a criterion for comparison of disparate uses of the second person in literature.

	Irreverent Authority: Religious Apostrophe and the Fiction of Blackness in Paule Marshall's Brown Girl, Brownstones (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Apostrophe is thus both direct and indirect: based etymologically on the notion of turning aside, of digressing from straight speech, it manipulates the I/thou structure of direct address in an indirect, fictionalized way.
		Apostrophe is a form of ventriloquism through which the figure throws voice, life, and human form into the addressee, turning its silence into mute responsiveness' (185).
		The kind of colour the religious apostrophes' words give to the room is not unlike the kind of colour these women must give back to their bodies otherwise threatened with incorporation into the self-cancellation of the same, universal, whitening rhetorics that Father Peace or the bas-reliefs of flness as unified African Americanness would suggest.

	The Death and Rebirth of Rhetoric
		The rhetorical event in this sense is only secondarily concerned with the clarity or veracity of its evidence (as in the "realism" of documentary photographs); before anything, it is intended to move us by means of verbal skill, bodily eloquence, spectacle, color, performance, and all the well-known elements of cosmetics, stagecraft, and mise en scène.
		century, rhetoric was usually subordinated to philosophy and devoted to the study of inventio, dispositio, and elecutio in verbal language.
		The Stanilavskian revolution didn't completely eliminate rhetoric, any more than novels or poems eliminated communication, but like most forms of modern art it was less openly solicitous or directly aimed toward the audience; it often relied on indirection, requiring viewers or readers to work at the discovery of meaning.

	NOTES
		In a rhetorical analysis, of course, the "details" will include the rhetorical strategies and stylistic devices identified in our course text and in our glossary.
		In any case, the development of rhetoric in 5th-century B.C. certainly corresponded to the rise of the new legal system that accompanied the "democratic government" (i.e., the several hundred men who were defined as Athenian citizens) in parts of ancient Greece.
		To illustrate the point that rhetoric is an inherent part of our everyday lives, we considered how accumulation, the first term in our glossary, tends to occur in a rhetorical situation in which one person passes judgment on another by cataloging his or her failures or achievements (the former is a type of

	[EMLS 7.3 (January, 2002]: 9.1-5 Review of Lynn Enterline, The Rhetoric of the Body
		In this respect, Enterline's analyses of Ovidian rhetoric exemplify how deeply relevant the "linguistic turn" of Lacanian psychoanalysis is to literary history, just as it demonstrates how literary history illuminates the divided and fragile subject of psychoanalytic theory.
		One of the most compelling themes of Enterline's readings, and one that I hope she pursues further, is the role that "identification" plays in relation to interpellation, Renaissance rhetoric and its accompanying theories of imitation, as well as the nature of reading literary texts more generally.
		Enterline's attention to the way that figures such as apostrophe and themes such as animation are woven through Renaissance literary history demonstrates the complex forms of intertexuality operating in Petrarch and Elizabethan Ovidianism.

	CHAPTER IV - POSSESSIVE CASE
		In the latter case we are obliged to place the apostrophe after the s in order to distinguish the possessive plural from the possessive singular.
		Nouns whose plurals are formed otherwise than by adding s or es, form their possessive case by adding the apostrophe and s, just as nouns in the singular do; as, men's, women's, children's, seraphim's.
		Sometimes the mistake is made of using the apostrophe with the possessive personal pronouns; as, her's, our's, it's.

		The third and highest degree of this figure is yet to be mentioned; when inanimate objects are represented, not only as feeling and acting, but as speaking to us, or listening while we address them.

		This site is intended to help beginners, as well as experts, make sense of rhetoric, both on the small scale (definitions and examples of specific terms) and on the large scale (the purposes of rhetoric, the patterns into which it has fallen historically as it has been taught and practiced for 2000+ years).

	Concentration in Writing and Rhetoric
		Rhetoric and its execution in both writing and speech have been central to Western education for millennia.
		Similarly, a working knowledge of rhetoric in its classical and contemporary manifestations imparts the ability to construct successful communication, evaluate others' arguments and, more importantly, comprehend and critique the basic epistemological and ideological frameworks of public and private discourse from an ethical standpoint.
		Paired together, expertise in writing and rhetoric will prepare a student to participate more meaningfully in democratic citizenship by becoming a discriminating producer and consumer of text; such expertise will also provide life-long opportunities for personal enrichment.

	Reasoning and Writing Well \| Apostrophes
		Definition: The most common errors with apostrophes occur with nouns and pronouns in the possessive case, in contractions, in some plurals, and in pronoun homonyms.
		Nouns: Nouns show possession with an apostrophe and an s; if the plural form already ends in an s, the apostrophe is placed after the s.
		When you add an apostrophe and an "s" to "it", you create "it's," the contraction of "it is".
