The Body of Persuasion: A Theory of the Enthymeme.
Walker, Jeffrey
College English, v56 n1 p46-65 Jan 1994
Examines the primary and not exclusively Aristotelian sources from which a more adequate concept of the enthymeme can be derived. Considers the relevance of that concept to the analysis of modern discourse. Analyzes works by Martin Luther King, Jr., and Roland Barthes as examples of enthymeming. (HB)
