Talk:Non sequitur (rhetoric)

message: Look, I think there is a fundamental misconception of what absurdism really is and what troubles me is that misconception is carried out in the category parenthesis of "Non sequitur (absurdism)".  That (absurdism) shouldnt be there.  If you read Albert Camus, nowhere does he ever give you the idea that he would condone the use of non-sequiturs.  I want to suggest changing (absurdism) into something like (surrealist) or (humor) to indicate a proper context with which to approach the term.

thread_title:  Non-sequitur is NOT Absurdism 

message: Can someone add a pronunciation guide to the article? I don't know how to pronounce "sequitur". ··gracefool |☺ 03:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The fancy letters are referred to as "IPA". If it hasn't been added by now, I'll see what I can do. Stale Fries taste better 04:02, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pronunciation 

message: "(surrealist)" and "(humor)" have both been suggested, but I think Non sequitur (language) is probably the least loaded title for this page - although non sequiturs are often intended to be humorous, they can also be unfunnily confusing or artistically serious. Any other thoughts? --McGeddon 10:39, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Non sequitur (absurdism) → Non sequitur (language) — The non sequitur is more a general feature of language, than a specifically absurdist statement. —McGeddon 12:11, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Survey

message: This article contains no reference to rhetoric, and concerns numerous or absurd uses.  In the absence of any discussion of non-sequitur with regard to rhetoric in this article, I've redirected it to Non sequitur (humor), at least until the article can make specific reference to classical or post-classical rhetoric.ThaddeusFrye 00:21, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
