Domain-specific

• Antithesis
  • Classical oratory — catalogued from Gorgias and Isocrates onward as a core Schema, treated in Aristotle's Rhetoric as one of the figures that produces asteia (Kennedy's "urbanities"). Political and persuasive speech — standard speechwriter equipment from Lincoln and Churchill to Kennedy and Obama, where the matched frame delivers a reversal on the beat

    This sourceAtkinson's analysis of the 'contrast' (contrastive pair) as deliberately deployed political-speech equipment whose completion functions as an invitation to applaud, landing on a predictable beat; the book's corpus is 1980s oratory, so the Lincoln-to-Obama span is the article's own.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
