Abstrakt

W artykule przedstawiono retoryczne zastosowanie konstruktu prowokacyjnej persony buntownika. Funkcje tego zabiegu zostały odtworzone na podstawie analizy tekstów argumentacyjnych z kolumny prowadzonej przez młodzież w norweskim dzienniku „Aftenposten” oraz materiały z konkursu krasomówczego dla uczniów szkół średnich Ta ordet!. Ich celem było nakłonienie odbiorców do przyjęcia zielonego stylu życia. Analiza posłużyła również do zbadania, jak młodzi ludzie angażują się w debatę publiczną o środowisku i jak ich retoryczne zaangażowanie włącza odbiorców do współuczestniczenia w ekologicznym obywatelstwie.
