About this title

Synopsis

A postmodern framework, reflected in the second edition subtitle, brings together different traditions and patterns of communication from world wide oral rhetorics to today's speeches. Students learn to draw upon these resources help to develop their own communicative voice. Concepts and skills are demonstrated by extensive research (800 critical, historical, and empirical studies) and hundreds of contemporary and historical examples.
