Obraz świata w statutach szkolnych. Analiza retoryczna wybranych statutów szkół podstawowych
Journal Title: Res Rhetorica - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
This article explores the hidden ideology of functional texts based on the examples of school statutes analyzed with the aid of methods of ideological criticism. The research material is comprised of 12 statutes of Warsaw primary schools effective from December 2017. The language of school statutes is analysed and selected features are described from the rhetorical perspective to retrieve the image of the world that is created in the statutes. The author points to some associative clusters that impose a specific subordinating relation between the sender and the recipient. The article refers to such rhetorical factors as: the relationship between lexis and world view, the use of the sender’s ethos and explicit and implicit evaluations, the relationship between the rhetorical effectiveness of the text and its composition and contextualization in the digital medium. It draws attention to the rhetorical potential of functional texts
