Assignment Notes

1. Concession: losing (or at least seeming to lose) to win

2. Syncrisis: reframing, renaming ("So I should lower my standards when dating?" "Not lower, deepen.")

3. Commonplace: a universally (or at least somewhat) recognized reference point; a point of shared attitude or at least familiarity; best example-pop culture references

4. Amplification (or dirimens copulation, "joining by interrupting"): "Not only...but also"; "-and it can also..." (interrupting either yourself or another person)

5. Seduction: descriptively embedding the audience/listener in order to lead to a concession; most advertising/marketing does this

6. Chiasmus: a rhetorical mirror image; a well-known Malcolm X quote is a good example-"We didn't land on Plymouth Rock. Plymouth Rock landed on us."

7. The fundamental differences between arguing and fighting (or being "eristic"): to argue is trying to persuade; to fight is trying to win

8. Prolepsis: conceding in advance (to cut out as much of the argument middle man as possible)-"I'll grant you..."; "I know...but..."

a. STIMULATE your audience's emotions. (mood)

b. CHANGE your audience's opinion. (mind)

c. GET your audience to act. (desire)

10. The "humblebrag": essentially-admitting a mistake, usually something small, made while doing something noble, hardworking, or well-meaning; or made in the midst of a high/prestigious position.
