Research Resources American Rhetoric



A continually growing database of full text speeches delivered by presidents and political activists, actors, Christian leaders, authors, talk show hosts, and many famous historical figures. Listen to speeches in Real Audio or MP3. "Rhetorical Figures in Sound" is a collection of sound clips that illustrate figures of speech. The "News and Information" section provides links to newspapers, magazines, and news sources. The section for scholars guides the user to some full text speech and communication journals. One particularly compelling feature of the site is an area devoted to the rhetoric of 9/11, which contains over 150 active links to speeches dealing with the events on and around that date.
