Présentation de l'éditeur
In making my plea for the study of spoken language I have worked in the patient spirit of faithful investigation, aided by long experience and close observation; in short, I have labored to make plain to others what I believe and know of the matter in question. Should my impressions and convictions meet with the approval of conscientious and impartial thinkers, I shall be content to await the final result of public appreciation. I hope I am not mistaken in believing that I have taken a step in the right direction, and that, ultimately, many will walk where but few now tread, in the light of knowledge derived from a thorough analysis of the constituent elements of the system, before seeking to understand and employ its combined principles for the purposes of education.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of elocution, the art of expressive speech, from its roots in the works of early English writers to its development in the 19th century. The author traces how scholars and writers like Charles Butler, John Walker, and Sir Joshua Steele made groundbreaking discoveries in identifying the vocal variations of speech. These discoveries led to the creation of a notation system, enabling the description and teaching of vocal techniques. The book argues that while the field has been largely defined by the "inflective system" championed by Walker and others, a more complete understanding of elocution requires a deeper analysis of the mechanics of the voice and a broader exploration of its expressive possibilities. This insightful and comprehensive work sheds light on both the historical evolution and the enduring principles of elocution, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to master the art of spoken language. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331641346_0
