Making a Case for Rhetorical Grammar
Micciche, Laura R.
College Composition and Communication, v55 n4 p716-737 Jun 2004
Rhetorical grammar analysis encourages students to view writing as a material social practice in which meaning is actively made, rather than passively relayed or effortlessly produced. The study of rhetorical grammar can demonstrate to students that language does purposeful, consequential work in the world--work that can be learned and applied.
