Definition: In the context of rhetoric, liberatory rhetoric is a type of rhetorical argument where the speaker or author uses words and phrases that are intended to make something more positive, encouraging or inspiring. This can be achieved by employing strong language, using emotionally charged statements, and presenting ideas in a way that suggests they have more meaning than their opposite. For example, if someone were to use the phrase "every man is free to do what he pleases," they might argue that this statement encourages people to act
what should be said.
