Answer (optional):
The dialectic kind of discourse is used when men converse by means of putting short questions and giving brief answers to those who question them. Its purpose is to facilitate a debate or dialogue between individuals in order to arrive at a conclusion or truth. It differs from other types of discourse such as rhetorical discourse used by orators for the sake of display in panegyrics or reproaches, or impeachments; private discourse, which is used when individuals converse with one another; and professional discourse, which is used by artists to converse about their particular art.
