On the Nature and Formation of Interpretive and Rhetorical Communities.
Purves, Alan C.
Highway One, v8 n1-2 p79-96 Win-Spr 1985
Distinguishes between Stanley Fish's idea of interpretive communities and rhetorical communities and asserts that because language is the passport to these communities, schools should seek ways to help students enter the communities to which they seek access. Cites evidence from an international study of writing to support the idea of rhetorical communities. (DF)
