Now thoroughly revised and expanded, the second edition of this successful text includes:
- Developed application of cognitive linguistic theory, which sheds new light on the emotional and logical powers of persuasion
- Extended and updated examples of rhetoric in action
- Clear pointers for further study to allow readers to continue their exploration into rhetorical theory and practice
