Dr Borislav Berić Simon Ryle, MA, Guest Assistant Brian Willems, Assistant After the completion of the course, the student is expected to understand and be able to identify specific rhetorical processes at work in written and spoken language, particularly in the formation of argumentative language. The student should be able to analyse the types of rhetorical practices at work in a specified discourse. S/he is also expected to have developed the ability to apply such rhetorical techniques in the production of convincing argumentative speech and writing. Completion of the third year undergraduate study programme. Overall language competence at C1+ to C2 level. The course will be divided into three sections: I. A close look at rhetorical structure and the techniques used in the construction of written and spoken arguments. Techniques for the analysis of argumentative writing and speech will be introduced and applied in class discussion. The structure of written arguments will be analysed, with attention to logic, ethos, pathos, the application of evidence, and informal fallacies. Instruction in the application of such knowledge to the production of written arguments will be given. Students will be introduced to correct techniques of citation and the writing of a bibliography. II. An application of techniques in the analysis of persuasive writing concerning twentieth century issues: the critical reading of opposing views and the formulation of a critically satisfactory position. A system of debates will be initiated, where students will be asked to produce arguments formulated on various topics, and the relative merit of these will be peer evaluated in a jury-style process. III. The application of rhetoric in literary theory. An introduction to the major schools of literary criticism and the debates surrounding the production of literary criticism, to enable the application of critical rhetoric to the analysis of a literary text. Specific examples of rhetorical techniques in various genres of writing will be provided, including selections from: Ramage, J.D. (Ed.). (2001). Writing Arguments. Boston: Allyn and Bacon. Various other examples of written arguments will be selected from the public domain. Introductions to schools of literary criticism will be taken from: Lodge, D. (2000). Modern Criticism and Theory. Harlow: Longman. Literary texts applicable to rhetorical analysis will be provided. 28
