Rhetoric as Social Act: Cicero and the Technical Writing Model.
Smith, Robert E., III
Journal of Technical Writing and Communication, v22 n4 p337-55 1992
Describes a new pedagogical model in the teaching of technical writing based on "technical writing as enculturation." Examines this model's relationship to the workaday world and its roots in classical, especially Ciceronian, rhetoric. Argues that this model's roots in both the modern and classical world enhances its usefulness. (HB)
