Explanation
The rhetorical structures in communication here are clusters, form, genre and narrative.
Clusters group recurring symbols and terms that reveal a speaker's underlying worldview.
Form is the shaping arrangement that gives a message its structured pattern.
Genre is the recognised type or category into which a communicative work falls.
Narrative is the story structure through which experience is organised and told.
Paralanguage concerns vocal features such as tone and pace, a delivery element rather than a rhetorical structure.
