The Enthymeme in Health Advertisements - 2 views

  •  
    "It's what you've been craving. Peaceful sleep without a struggle. That's what Lunesta is all about: helping most people fall asleep quickly, and stay asleep all through the night. It is easy to see that this text presents an argument directed towards getting the readers of the ad to buy Lunesta. However, it may be a little harder at first to see what the premises are that are put forward to support this conclusion, and what the form of the argument is. The argument evidently has some sort of structure, but it may not be apparent what that structure is. We begin by making a so-called key list of the statements that make up the explicit premises and conclusion of the argument."

    Fox TV news comedy that has a similar format to The Daily Show. It's interesting to see which of the two shows you find more funny, and what that says about your enthymemes, especially your suppressed premises. (Thanks to Michael Sylvester for identifying this.)

Simon Blackburn Reviews Stanley Fish's "How To Write A Sentence" | The New Republic - 0 views

  • In a sentence a sequence of words becomes more than just a list. It breathes and takes wing
  • Do shape and ring matter? Perfection always matters. Without the sensitivity Fish admires, we would not only have no great literature. We would also have had no Gettysburg address, no Churchill, and no Martin Luther King, Jr. If we cannot move peoples’ souls, we cannot move their ways of living either: “Let me write the songs of a nation, and I care not who writes its laws.”
