Powers of Expression, Expressions of Power: Speech Presentation and Latin Literature

الغلاف الأمامي
Oxford University Press, 1999 - 358 من الصفحات
Can a speaker's words ever be faithfully reported? History, philosophy, ethnography, political theory, linguistics, and literary criticism all involve debates about discourse and presentation. By drawing from Plato's theory of discourse, the lively analysis of speech presentation in this book provides a coherent and original contribution to these debates.
