The two kinds of topoi correspond to two fundamental categories of argumentation: “reflection” and “description”. The functions of these topoi are demonstrated on numerous examples from the literature of the post-rhetorical era (19th century), proving the continuity between this literature and the socalled “epoch of the ready-made word”.</p>}, number={13}, journal={Acta Universitatis Lodziensis.
