| Summary: | The included in this special issue of the Revista Alicantina de Estudios Ingleses shows how lively the field of persuasive discourse has become nowadays. Indeed, the variety of papers sent confirms that persuasion arises in a wide range of discourse types (advertising, media discourse, political propaganda, religious sermons, academese, literary and translation studies, etc.) and can be approached from nearly all social sciences, including communication, sociology, history or political science. As could not be otherwise, the contributions included in this volume reflect this rich variety of approaches which supersede the traditional view of rhetoric and account for the all-embracing nature of persuasive discourse, illustrating different views and methodologies and following the parameters of different conceptual frameworks. Besides, it is worthy of note that the contributions in this volume are not limited to persuasion in English, as some articles treat persuasion-relevant issues in French, Spanish or Thai, which demonstrates that rhetorical practices are often culture-bound and can help our understanding of the nature of persuasive discourse as a whole. |
