Words the Most Like Things: Iconicity and the Rhetorical Text.
Leff, Michael; Sachs, Andrew
Western Journal of Speech Communication, v54 n3 p252-73 Sum 1990
Argues that meaning in a rhetorical work results from an interaction between discursive form and representational content linguists call "iconicity." Illustrates this approach through close analysis of passages selected from Edmund Burke's "Speech to the Electors of Bristol." Considers applications in broader contexts. (KEH)
