“You die for life”: On the use of poetic devices in argumentation1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 December 2008
Abstract
Analysis of a sociolinguistic interview reveals repeated presentation of ideas, words, expressions, and structures. These recurrent devices and patterns increase the effect of arguments. The immediate purpose is the listener's acceptance of the speaker's views. There is also a concern to gain recognition of the speaker's opinion of self and his position in society.
