LOGOS (idea, message)
PATHOS (force, emotion) ETHOS (form, manner)
Every communication is essentially a trilateral relationship. Each point of the triangle influences the others, and all are influenced by the context of the communication.

Qualifiers: Statements that limit the strength of the argument or
