A new research paper explores how rhetorical strategies, specifically ethos and pathos, influence the interpretations of social media messages by silent audiences. The study analyzed a dataset of social media sentences and human-written interpretations, finding that interpretations diverged from the original text in 30% of cases. The research indicates that rhetorically charged content leads to greater variability in interpretation and that ethos and pathos appeals can predict audience attitudes toward the author, even without visible engagement.
