This recent grouping is incorrect. This group conflicts with centuries of material on the subject. Aristotle specifically devided speech (lexis) from logic (logos) in how we communicate. This is where we have the division between figures of speech and figures of invention. These have been muddled together into one broad category without reason. The term "rhetorical techniques" is more akin to a figure of invention because the rhetorical devices do nothing on their own whereas a figure of invention is a technique to achieve a certain goal with an audience. My assertions can be found on this university's website, written by a professor of rhetoric.[1]. Legis Nuntius22:49, 8 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
