Excerpt from Models for Study
Let excellence of style be defined to consist in its being clear (a sign of this is this, that the diction, unless it make the sentiment clear, will not affect its purpose); and neither low, nor above the dignity of the subject, but in good taste; for the style of poetry, indeed, is not low, yet it is not becoming in prose.
Of nouns and verbs, those which are in general use produce the effect of clearness; to prevent its being low, and to give it ornament, there are other nouns which have been mentioned in the "Poetics," for a departure [from ordinary acceptations] causes it to appear more dignified; for men are affected in respect of style in the very same way as they are toward foreigners and citizens. On which account you should give your phrase a foreign air; for men are admirers of things out of the way, and what is an object of admiration is pleasant.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a treatise on excellence in style, written by Aristotle, one of the most influential philosophers of all time. Aristotle presents the qualities of good styleâ"clarity, appropriateness to the subject at hand, and ornamentationâ"and argues that effective writing or speech should be designed to persuade the audience. The author draws from his Poetics to support his ideas, identifying powerful language, effective metaphors, and the use of equivocal and synonymous terms as essential tools. Aristotle acknowledges that the language of different disciplines may require alternative writing techniques and that writers must consider their audience. He emphasizes the importance of avoiding vulgarity and obscurity, striving instead for language that is both accessible and impactful. By analyzing the elements of persuasive language, this book provides a timeless framework for effective communication. 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. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331219170_0
