L'art de la persuasió en "Tirant lo Blanch"

Abstract

From modern argumentation theory (that, unlike traditional rhetoric, is nat interested in providing a handbook of construction of the speech to the speaker, but in unmasking argumentative strategies of this), we find here a fruitful research along the pages of «Tirant lo Blanch» , with the objetive of encountering and classifying the acts of persuasion in two of more typical characters of this classic of Catalan and European medieval literature: “Plaerdemavida” and the “Viuda Reposada”. So, this is a new contribution to complete the reading of a masterpiece of fourteenth century.
