摘　　要：语言是人类区别于动物的本质特征,它不但赋予人类认识世界的能力而且也成为人类改造世界必不可少的工具。但是,语言在传递信息、存储知识的同时也构成人类接触真实世界的屏障。和语言形影相伴的修辞可以提高语言的使用效率,产生说服的效果,促使受众改变心理现实并进而改变客观现实。修辞过程就是修辞主体在真善、利益、伦理等的介入下弥合分歧达到认同的过程,而当修辞手段失效时,便容易导致暴力的产生。Language, one of the essential features that distinguish man from other animals, not only endows human beings the capacity to know the world, but also becomes the indispensable instrument for human beings to modify the world. However, at the same time, language transmits information and stores knowledge, and it constitutes a barrier for human beings to know the real world. Rhetoric, a commensal of language, improves communicative efficiency, produces persuasion and activates audience to modify their own psychological reality and then the objective world. The rhetorical process is a process by which, with the interference of truth, virtues, interests, ethnics and others, the rhetorical subjects bridge divisions among them and achieve identification. When this fails, violence grows.
