Summary/Abstract: The article describes the implementation of the rhetorical triangle in the communicative public sphere. Senders can employ three rhetorical-communicative strategies within it: communication with the recipient, communication of the recipient or communication by the recipient. The characterisation of this sphere through a topographical metaphor shows that the logos, ethos and pathos of public texts depend on the cognitive-communicative strategy of the senders and the flexibility of their language, which leads either to persuasion or manipulation of the recipients.
