This paper reviews the results of contrastive studies on persuasive writing and considers the future topics. Previous studies in contrastive rhetoric on persuasive writing have been conducted from various perspectives. First, the paper summarizes contrastive rhetoric studies on the positioning of the topic sentence. Secondly, it introduces studies that analyze the persuasive appeals, and lastly, examines results in the studies of a textural structure. Especially regarding textual structure, the paper looks at the existing studies in three categories: paragraph ‘bundan', the position of the assertion, and sentence ordering.

Based on the review of existing studies and extracting the topics yet to be explored, the paper suggests four directions in contrastive rhetoric studies; qualitative studies of persuasive writing, compound studies on stylistic and content features of persuasive writing, studies on the acquisition process of points for persuasion and the correlation between points for persuasion and school education, and studies on persuasive writing by bilingual individuals.
