Classical Rhetoric

Classical rhetorical theory with a special emphasis on argumentative structures and juridical rhetoric: Works in this field include large research articles on Classical Stasis theory, Logos in Greek rhetoric and a variety of other topics for the Historical Lexicon of Rhetoric and the Handbook of Linguistics and Communication Science. Current projects involve research on the Freedom of Speech in classical rhetoric and selected concepts in Aristotelian argumentation theory as well as the work on the new edition of A Synoptic History of Classical Rhetoric.
