•Step 3: Where deemed necessary, identify the “supportive”<br />
<strong>rhe<strong>to</strong>rical</strong> strategies important for the overall argument <strong>of</strong> a<br />
section or for the entire discourse (Tolmie, 2005:29). Strategies<br />
that cannot be directly related <strong>to</strong> the dominant <strong>rhe<strong>to</strong>rical</strong><br />
objective fall in<strong>to</strong> this category. In the present study, I have not<br />
deemed it necessary <strong>to</strong> identify any "supportive" strategies,<br />
hence this terminology will not be utilised.<br />
• Step 4: Identify the <strong>rhe<strong>to</strong>rical</strong> techniques within a section. These<br />
involve the ways in which an author enhances the effectiveness<br />
<strong>of</strong> his communication.<br />
o E.g. metaphor, <strong>rhe<strong>to</strong>rical</strong> questions, paronomasia, the<br />
way sentences are constructed and chiasm (Tolmie,<br />
2005:29).<br />
• Step 5. Describe the organisation <strong>of</strong> the argument in the letter as<br />
a whole. This final step is done after completion <strong>of</strong> the <strong>analysis</strong><br />
and is therefore presented in the conclusion <strong>of</strong> this study.<br />
Section 2 will be the actual <strong>rhe<strong>to</strong>rical</strong> <strong>analysis</strong> <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Letter</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Titus</strong>. Section 3<br />
will contain my conclusion and a summary <strong>of</strong> the prospective areas <strong>of</strong> study<br />
stimulated by the present study.<br />
