Abstract

In the study we pay attention to the interactive stylistics, with emphasis on the monitoring of language use by people, who are viewed from an interdisciplinary perspective in order to maximally understand their communication practices (including understanding of language). We are interested in how such a science relates with practical rhetoric as the art of good and convincing verbal communication across the three modes of persuasion (logos, ethos and pathos), as well as in the fact which particularities repose in any of the disciplines. The background for such exploration is represented by the real argumentations of common people in internet discussions about refugees in the Slovak mass media in 2015.
