| Persuasive Strategies |
Description |
| Repetition |
This might be a precise repetition or a slight modification of a word, phrase, sentence, or idea; it can be remarks, inquiries, directives, or any other communicative act. In communication, repetition can serve a variety of purposes. |
| Metaphor |
One approach to placing an imposition on someone without losing face on either side is to use a metaphor to suggest it. This may lead the other person to realise that the deed was indirect and had a different meaning than it appears on the surface. |
| Proverbs |
Proverbs are expressions that have become authoritative due to their widespread use and acceptance by a community and are thus regarded as facts to be obeyed. |
| Quotations |
There are several varieties of quotations, each with a different persuasion value:(a) a sourced quotation from a credible source;(b) an unsourced, socially accepted epigram;(c) through the use of a colleague's statements;(d) a skilful version of a well-known phrase.The citation should be relevant to the situation in all cases and accurate in the cases of (a), (b), and (c), or the user will lose face. |
| Comparison |
Comparison is the act of putting two or more objects together by implying that they share characteristics. |
| Emphasis |
To draw attention to something.To express powerful emotions.To introduce a prohibited matter. |
| Euphemism |
A euphemism is a soft word that replaces a harsh phrase. |
| Exemplification |
To include some examples of a subject being discussed in the text, clarify or expand on it as it would be more reasonable. |
| Deny |
Denying anything is a positive affirmation that something negative is false. |
