Classical Rhetoric
Classical Rhetoric: the term used to describe the art of effectively writing and speaking to an audience. It was first developed in ancient Greece and Rome, and later became an essential part of what is defined as classical education. The cornerstones of speaking in rhetoric include being concise and forceful in order to get one’s message across to whoever the audience is. This form of communication has existed since the time of Socrates in ancient Greece.
Classical rhetoric divides communication into three main parts: speaker, listener (audience), and the message that travels linearly from the speaker to the listener. It is often considered an art form as well as a method of verbal communication (collaboratory.nunet.net).
