“…Bitzer defines the enthymeme as ‘a syllogism based on probabilities, signs, and examples, whose function is rhetorical persuasion,’ and concludes that the enthymeme's ‘successful construction is accomplished through the joint efforts of speaker and audience, and this is its essential character’ (p. 408). In an enthymeme, the major premise is assumed by both the advocate (Emmel, 1994; Lanigan, 1974) and the audience member (Delia, 1970; Gage, 1983) to be a sign that allows a larger principle to be abstracted from specific examples. The audience members' past experiences are incorporated into a minor premise provided by a speaker to allow the audience members to reach a conclusion based on the assumed major premise (Delia, 1970; Harper, 1973; McBurney, 1936).…”

The purpose of this paper is to explore public interpretations of President George W. Bush's speaking errors. One interpretation of Bush's speech mistakes offered in the media is that he may have dyslexia. Therefore, we explore how an enthymeme using markers of dyslexia as a sign of bad leadership has been used to frame Bush's speaking errors. We provide an analysis of an exemplar of how Bush's speech errors are represented in the media. Our exemplar is the desktop calendar George W. Bushisms: The Accidental Wit and Wisdom of Our 43rd President. We demonstrate that this text focused on common indicators of dyslexia, that is, speaking errors, to position Bush as a ‘bad’ and ‘stupid’ leader. Finally, we offer conclusions and implications that this study has for our understanding of politics and disabilities.

“…A’s quote offers up admission to anyone who is willing to join, but as the price of admission requires that they believe that the events in Ferguson and Palestine were a tragedy. A’s quote is enthymematic because it relies upon the community to derive a meaning; it is community building because it is on the basis of that shared meaning that one can say they are a part of the community (Gage, 1983, pp. 39-44; Green, 1980, pp.…”

Purpose The purpose of this essay is to highlight how the digital age makes visible community expression and organization on an international scale. Design/methodology/approach This project provides a rhetorical analysis of the sub-cultural twitter hashtag “#Palestine2Ferguson”. By focusing on #Palestine2Ferguson, this piece interrogates the ways groups that have been displaced by oppression can build bridges in the new digital age. Through the adaptation of Deluca and Peeples “public screen”, this project reveals how increased sophistication of discernment adds a new “touch” to the screen. Findings An analysis of #Palestine2Ferguson through the lens of “the public touchscreen” emboldens rhetorical studies understanding of how ethnic/racial minority individuals are capable of self-selecting their method and modes of self-expression when building community. Originality/value The transformation of life within the digital age has created an exigence for a reconsideration and expansion of Deluca and Peeples concept of “public screens”.
