Elocutio (lexis or phrasis in Greek)[1][2] is a Latin term for the mastery of rhetorical devices and figures of speech in Western classical rhetoric.[2] Elocutio or style is the third of the five canons of classical rhetoric (the others being inventio, dispositio, memoria, and pronuntiatio) that concern the craft and delivery of speeches and writing.[1]
