- Rhetoric - Rhetoric (from Greek , rhêtôr, orator, teacher) is generally understood to be the art or technique of persuasion through the use of oral, visual, or written language; however, this definition of rhetoric has expanded greatly since rhetoric emerged as a field of study in universities. In this sense, there is a divide between classical rhetoric (with the aforementioned definition) and contemporary practices of rhetoric which include the analysis of written and visual texts.
- International Society for the History of Rhetoric - The International Society for the History of Rhetoric was created in order to promote studies of rhetoric in theory and practice. It also emphasizes the relationship of rhetoric to other cultural contexts, such as poetics, literary theory and criticism, philosophy, politics, religion, law.

- Visual rhetoric - Visual rhetoric is the fairly recent development of a theoretical framework describing how visual images communicate, as opposed to aural or verbal messages.
