péroraison


Definition from site de l'université de Genève:
La péroraison est la conclusion du discours. Elle synthétise l'argumentation et en appelle aux sentiments de l'auditoire (pitié, indignation,...), notamment par le recours au pathos.

Example sentence(s):
  • Il a également consacré une large partie de sa péroraison à l'action des maires - bfm tv  
  • il y a deux grandes étapes dans une plaidoirie traditionnelle: celle qui parle à la raison et celle qui parle au cœur: le droit et la péroraison. «La raison, ça veut dire rappeler les faits et rester assez neutre.» C'est de la technique, la pertinence et la rigueur dans le droit. «La péroraison est bien plus passionnante: elle ne dure qu'un bref instant, on s'émancipe des faits pour faire vibrer le cœur du juge, pris comme un adversaire quand on plaide. - slate
