Description

Our communication is limitedby misunderstanding. Rhetoric, as Professor Richards defines it, is the study of misunderstanding and its remedies. The normal rules of the old rhetoric and the formulations of scientific language have narrow application to conversational speech; Professor Richard’s definition of rhetoric is in keeping with a practical question: how do words work in discourse? To respond to this query, he examines the interaction of words with every other and with their contexts, showing how a continual synthesis of that means, or “principle of metaphor”, gives life to discussion. It’s through comprehension of the way in which that means changes in discourse that we will better keep watch over and animate our use of words, and so decrease misunderstanding.
