American Oxford Thesaurus

rhetoric

rhetoric noun 1 a form of rhetoric: oratory, eloquence, command of language, way with words. 2 empty rhetoric: bombast, turgidity, grandiloquence, magniloquence, pomposity, extravagant language, purple prose; wordiness, verbosity, prolixity; informal hot air; rare fustian. USAGE rhetoric Rhetoric = (1 ) the art of using language persuasively; the rules that help one achieve eloquence; (2 ) the persuasive use of language; (3 ) a treatise on persuasive language; (4 ) prose composition as a school subject. These are the main senses outlined in the Oxford English Dictionary. There should probably be added a new sense, related to but distinct from the first sense: (5 ) the bombastic or disingenuous use of language to manipulate people. Older books defined rhetoric in line with sense 1: • “Rhetoric is the Art of speaking suitably upon any Subject. ” (John Kirkby, A New English Grammar; 1746.) • “Rhetoric is the art of adapting discourse, in harmony with its subject and occasion, to the requirements of a reader or hearer. ” (John F. Genung, The Working Principles of Rhetoric; 1902.) But the slippage toward the pejorative sense 5 began early. In “Some Fruits of Solitude ” (1693 ), William Penn suggested its iniquitous uses: “There is a Truth and Beauty in Rhetorick; but it oftener serves ill Turns than good ones. ” (Charles W. Eliot, ed. , Harvard Classics; 1909.) By the twentieth century, some writers with a classical bent were trying hard to reclaim the word —e.g.: “No one who reads [ancient authors ] can hold the puerile notions of rhetoric that prevail in our generation. The ancients would have made short work of the cult of the anti-social that lies behind the cult of mystification and the modern hatred of rhetoric. All the great literary ages have exalted the study of rhetoric. ” (Van Wyck Brooks, Opinions of Oliver Allston; 1941.) But T. S. Eliot probably had it right when he acknowledged that the word is essentially ambiguous today —generally pejorative but with flashes of a favorable sense: “The word [ rhetoric ] simply cannot be used as synonymous with bad writing. The meanings which it has been obliged to shoulder have been mostly opprobrious; but if a precise meaning can be found for it this meaning may occasionally represent a virtue. ” (“ ‘Rhetoric ’ and Poetic Drama, ” in The Sacred Wood, 7th ed. ; 1950.).Usage notes show additional guidance on finer points of English usage.
