Mikroteksty nauczycieli – analiza pragmatyczno-retoryczna
Teachers’ microtexts. The pragmatic-rhetorical analysis

Summary/Abstract: The following paper analyzes short utterances or micro-texts known as "sayings/ maxims/ teachers' texts" in the context of teacher-speak, a specific social communicative style that is recognizable to non-professional language users. These micro-texts fulfil the primary function of persuading and influencing students. The paper identifies specific speech acts and eristic devices in the uses of language that help teachers win control in the transactional game with students. School discourse, which exemplifies the rhetoric of domination, plays a role in the constant incubation and replication of these micro-texts.
