Exigence
- Definition: Exigence is
basically the point of a piece of writing. It is the problem and
solution and the reason why they both exist in one written body.
- Example: An essay about the possible solutions to global warming. The author is offering solutions in this piece of writing but by doing so he or she also assesses the problem that requires these solutions. Furthermore, the author explains why a problem needs a solution and why it is relevant at a certain time.
- Definition: The writer or writers of a written body as they portray themselves to an audience. The rhetors can also be the audience of a work.
- Example: A businessman in a community may help clean up a local park on a regular basis as a service. As a rhetor, he can portray himself as a businessman or a janitor.
- Definition: Audience is the person or group of people who reads a written body. The audience can also be the group the author imagines would read his or her work. The audience may also take on roles in order to accommodate the aim of the writer.
- Example: An English teacher may enjoy reading novels for leisure as a part of one audience, but as another audience he or she takes a more critical approach when reading a student’s essay.
- Definition: Constraints are the limitations within which an author must write.
- Example: If an author is hired to write a piece for children, he or she is constrained by the limited knowledge of the readers and language that readers will appreciate.
