Hysteria-rhetoric

Abstract

The study contains rhetorical analyses of three tales focusing on persuasion from Judit Berg’s book Hisztimesék /Hysteria tales/ (2005). The main question posed by the research is: What kind of rhetorical devices and techniques of argumentation are used in the persuasion of young children? The aim of the study is to highlight the interdisciplinarity of rhetoric with examples that can be used in everyday educational and/or pedagogical practice, and in which the methods of persuasion and techniques of argumentation are also presented (that also appear in children’s literature).
