| Description : |
The American Rhetoric web site contains an
extensive database of speeches, sermons, lectures, legal
proceedings, and other such recorded materials, which
illustrate and exemplify the principles of rhetoric. The site
includes a page of classical and modern definitions of
rhetoric, and excerpts from Plato and Aristotle. The bulk of
the content consists of texts (and audio and video recordings)
of great American speeches and political addresses. There is
also a section on the movies, featuring classic fictionalised
speeches. The best-known American speeches, such as Martin
Luther King's 'I have a dream', and President Lincoln's
'Gettysburg Address', are all included, alongside over 5,000
others. There are special sections on Christian rhetoric, and
on the rhetoric of 9/11. This latter page contains over 100
speeches responding to the terrorist attacks against New York
and Washington in 2001. The site contains several interactive
exercises such as a rhetoric quiz, and tests based on the
evaluation of rhetorical arguments. Links are provided to
journals and societies devoted to communication studies, while
a news and information index offers links to various other
external sites. |
