Epideixis
Epideixis or epideictic speech ( Greek ἐπιδεικτικὸν γένος , "indicating / indicating genus") is the name of a certain genre according to the system of Aristotle . The epideictic speech is aimed at the “enjoying” listener and praises or criticizes the subject matter. Their main point of view is honesty or dishonor.
In his rhetoric , Aristotle derives the three types of speech from a communication model: the speaker, the subject of the speech and the listener belong to the speech.
Examples of epideictic speeches are speeches ( encomia ) grave speeches (Epitaphien) and wedding speeches ( epithalamia ).
