AP LANGUAGE AND COMPOSITION
The Rhetorical, or Aristotelian Triangle
There is a dynamic interaction between three elements:
SPEAKER: the person or group who creates a text, but more: their
PERSONA-- the description of who they are; the “mask” they
present to their audience
AUDIENCE: The listener, viewer or reader. There may be multiple
levels of audience. Their attitude toward the speaker and subject is
important.
SUBJECT: the speaker’s general topic
AP LANGUAGE AND COMPOSITION
The Rhetorical, or Aristotelian Triangle
These three elements interact dynamically:
How a speaker perceives the subject, the
audience, and the relationship between
them, affects the text.
Speaker
TEXT
Simply put, what we say depends on the topic
and audience…
Audience
Effective rhetoricians understand this
dynamic, and tailor their text accordingly.
