According to Aristotle, deliberative speech is one of the three major branches of rhetoric.Deliberative speeches are used to propose, discuss, debate, and decide future policies and laws. Aristotle’s deliberative form of speech was mainly used in law making. A few examples of deliberative speech are:
- Arguments
- Exhortation
- Persuasion
Deliberative argument gives the illusion of a controlled, generally increasing momentum, and its effect can be ruined by an interruption. The speaker uses every possible means to jog our attention—exclamations, apostrophes, questions,gestures—and to spur us ever forward, not only with series of tapered expressions but also by means of stimulating suspensions.
