“…These studies seem to agree that FI is an important communicative strategy whose underlying interactional structure helps to organize the discourse as well as serve argumentative or didactic purposes. These studies have involved different discourse types which include: court room discourse (Pascual 2002;2008a;2008b); political argumentation (Cienki and Giansante 2014); written route directions (Santos Mendes 2008); classroom discourse (Brandt 2008); dramatic discourse (Abrantes 2009); religious texts (Sandler in press); professional discourse (Chaemsaithong in press; Fitzgerald and Oakley in press); autistic conversations (Dornelas and Pascual in press) amongst others that are still in preparation and have not been published yet.…”

Rhetoric is intimately related to interaction and cognition. This book explores the cognitive underpinnings of rhetoric by presenting a case study of the rhetorical use of interactional structures, namely expository questions and rhetorical questions, in the classical Chinese tradition. Such questions are generally meant to evoke silent answers in the addressee’s mind, thereby involving a fictive type of interaction. The book analyzes fictive questions as intersubjective mixed viewpoint constructions, involving a viewpoint blend of the perspectives of the writer, the assumed prospective readers, and possibly also that of the discourse characters. The analysis further shows that in addition to attention, other late developing human capacities such as mental simulation and perspective taking also have a pivotal role to play in rhetoric, on the basis of which a simulation-based rhetorical model of persuasion is proposed to account for meaning construction in rhetorical practices. The book will influence our understanding of rhetorical practices outside the Western tradition but within the framework of cognitive semantics.
