Rhetoric and Pragmatics : Figures reconsidered In this paper the notions of 'figure' and 'trope' are to be considered in the light of the recent development of pragmatics, emphasizing the two following aspects : 1. Broadening the notion of trope : the existence of pragmatic tropes, like the 'illocutionary trope', is now admitted together with the semantic tropes of classic rhetoric. Indirect speech acts show many common features indeed with e.g. metaphors and antiphrasis. 2. Figures and 'faces' : rhetorical figures may be called upon in 'face-work' (Goffman) and politeness (Brown & Levinson), namely to contribute towards the harmonious management of the interpersonal relation, besides their traditional acknowledged ornamental and argumentative functions.
