.../šinik/ or Akkadian /bīnu/, depending on the language of the reader. As a consequence, some texts can be, and in ancient times undoubtedly were, read indifferently in Sumerian or Akkadian. Figure 1. Sumero-Akkadian Lexical Entries Uncertainties about readings and meanings are dispelled partly by the context, and partly by the writing system itself, through the use of classificators and “phonetic indicators.” Thus, when used as a classificator, the sign giš assigns the word following it to the class of trees or wooden objects. About twenty of these signs are in...

...questionable assumptions that have prevented substantial advances on these issues for almost three hundred years. Since the advent of stylistics, however, this situation has begun to change. In the 20th century, successive groups of linguistically oriented prosodists have dispelled many of the most persistent myths about prosodic organization, and in the process have revived prosody as a fruitful area of study. In the central prosodic tradition, rhythm in language has usually been characterized as a continuous grouping of alternating phonetic saliences...

...we are talking only about assignments of truth values. A rhetorical analysis of the subject matter also helps to explain, what seems paradoxical, that each of the following is considered valid: Not p . So, if p then q . q . So, if p then q . Any hint of paradox can be dispelled by making explicit the fact that each such “inference” is understood to apply to the classroom contingencies marked by p and q . Given that the contingency p does not obtain, or that q does obtain, it is impossible for p to obtain and q not to obtain. That is all...

One of the few who tried to think about the place of pathos in rhetoric is the rhetor Thrasymachus of Chalcedon ( c.460 bce ), who had a reputation for giving tearful and moving speeches, for arousing and dispelling anger, and who wrote an entire treatise on Appeals to Pity . He also wrote a handbook on rhetoric with model openings and closings for students to memorize and emulate, and is one of the earliest to suggest that emotional appeals have most power in the beginnings and ends of...
