Talk:Period (rhetoric)

"In rhetoric, a period is an unusually impressive, well-balanced, and stately sentence." Though this may often be true, it does not stand well as a defining first sentence. Can we come up with more precise definitions of "period"? --Wetman 02:05, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I agree

The definition is not clear at all and the sample is to confuss to help in the definition.

We need a more precise definition of this with, perhap, more examples on such an obsure subject.

Merge with Periodic sentence[edit]

We also have that article; I think it fairly obvious that they should be merged, but do we want it here or there? Smerdis of Tlön 16:15, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going ahead and making periodic sentence the article. I'm also using most of the text from that article, as it (especially the example) is simpler and clearer.
