‘You'll Love This One…’ An Exploration Into Joke-Prefacing Devices

Humorous people are likely to be perceived as spontaneous, honest and likeable (Kane, Suls & Tedeschi, 1972), and the tactical use of humour can enhance a speaker's persuasiveness and credibility, reduce tension, demonstrate solidarity, and provide pleasure (Civikly, 1983; Gruner, 1978).

Although ancient testimonia alludes to as many as nine Aristotelian rhetorics, modern scholarship recognizes four (including the extant Rhetoric). This article examines Aristotle's lost rhetorics and their influence upon his philosophy of rhetorical discourse
