Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes Roman orator Cicero's rhetorical use of interrogation in his speeches against Marc Antony, known as the Philippics. The author notes the preponderance of questions in the indicative mood, which Cicero used to make emphatic statements or forceful denials. Moreover, the majority of these questions introduce the denial of someone or something using stock phrases. Further, the author classifies these questions into types based on introductory words. Using this categorization system, the author discusses the nuances of each type of question and its purpose in context. Throughout, the author demonstrates how Cicero skillfully and strategically employed rhetorical questions to persuade his audience. This book is essential reading for students and scholars of rhetoric, linguistics, and Roman history, but also accessible to those interested in ancient oratory and persuasive 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 9781527781252_0
