<p>I am quite interested in this topic and trying to find rigorous academic sources. The Wikipedia link of persuasive speech <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persuasive_speech" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persuasive_speech</a> is not relevant to this academic field.</p>
<p>I am not sure if the Wikipedia page of &quot;persuasion&quot; <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persuasion" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persuasion</a> is about the field of &quot;persuasive communication&quot;. What text/article can I start to read in order to get a big picture of the organization of this field and some recent advances?</p>
