用法
The word rhetoric was once primarily the name of an important branch of philosophy and an art deserving of serious study. In recent years the word has come to be used chiefly in a pejorative sense to refer to inflated language and pomposity. Deprecation of the term may result from a modern linguistic puritanism, which holds that language used in legitimate persuasion should be plain and free of artifice—itself a tendentious rhetorical doctrine, though not often recognized as such. But many writers still prefer to bear in mind the traditional meanings of the word. Thus, according to the newer use of the term, the phrase empty rhetoric, as in The politicians talk about solutions, but they usually offer only empty rhetoric, might be construed as redundant. But in fact only 35 percent of the Usage Panel judged this example to be redundant. Presumably, it can be maintained that rhetoric can be other than empty.
單詞rhetoric 曾主要是哲學的一個重要分支的和一種值得嚴肅研究的藝術的名稱。 近年來，這個詞已開始主要用於貶義，指誇大的語言和虛誇。這個詞的改變可能源於一種現代語言的刻板做法，認為用於正當勸說中的語言應是樸素，沒有人工雕飾的——它自身便是一種宣傳性的修辭教條，雖然未常常被如此認為。但許多作家仍願意記住這個詞的傳統含義。這樣，根據這個詞較新的含義，在The politician talk about solutions, but they usually offer only empty rhetoric 中，短語 empty rhetoric 可能被分析為多餘的。 但事實上，用法委員會成員中只有百分之三十五的人認為在這個例子中是多餘的。大概該詞除了空的以外還有其他的意思吧
