Talk:Period (rhetoric)

"In rhetoric, a period is an unusually impressive, well-balanced, and stately sentence." Though this may often be true, it does not stand well as a defining first sentence. Can we come up with more precise definitions of "period"? --Wetman 02:05, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I agree

The definition is not clear at all and the sample is to confuss to help in the definition.

We need a more precise definition of this with, perhap, more examples on such an obsure subject.

Merge with Periodic sentence
We also have that article; I think it fairly obvious that they should be merged, but do we want it here or there? Smerdis of Tlön 16:15, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm going ahead and making periodic sentence the article. I'm also using most of the text from that article, as it (especially the example) is simpler and clearer.
