What is eloquence?
The definition of this term emphasizes two main components - the art of decorating speech and the art of persuasion.
Speech is enhanced by good diction, a pleasant timbre of the voice, the right tempo, lively intonation, a rich vocabulary, and competent and expressive presentation. Without the ability to speak beautifully, it is unlikely that you will be able to convince anyone of anything.
And vice versa. Speech that is meaningless, incomprehensible, chaotic, full of baseless arguments and facts, and does not have a clear structure is unconvincing. But if it is presented beautifully, then outwardly impressive and verbose it will serve as an example not of eloquence, but of eloquence.
