Synopsis

This book is a treatise on the principles of elocution and rhetoric that serves as a guide for teachers and public speakers. Part of a literary tradition dating back to the Greeks, this book presents thoroughly researched theories on key components of elocution including quality of voice, articulation, and emphasis. The author draws on the work of notable rhetorical scholars like Aristotle and Cicero as well as his own experience to provide an accessible analysis of verbal and sentential emphasis. This book examines how an understanding of the diversity of human emotion enables the precise use of emphasis in creating effective discourse. It reveals the significance of inflections in expressing the full range of human feeling and the importance of pronunciation in projecting gravitas. This book will appeal to anyone interested in improving verbal and non-verbal communication and learning how to read and listen with greater discernment.
