Essay

This thesis compares the discourse of female autobiographies, with a focus on the similarities and differences between various persuasion techniques. The study introduces the methodology for pragma-rhetorical investigation of persuasive discourse which is intended to define strategies and tactics, as well as rhetorical devices and linguistic means used by the authors in order to build the images of the speaker, audience and opponent. On the basis of this approach, the typological characteristics are revealed within the linguistic identities of each female writer.
