Book Synopsis Contrastive Rhetoric by : Ulla Connor
Download or read book Contrastive Rhetoric written by Ulla Connor and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2008-01-09 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores contrastive rhetoric for audiences in both ESL contexts and international EFL contexts, exposing the newest developments in theories of culture and discourse and pushing the boundaries beyond any previously staked ground. The book presents a comprehensive set of empirical investigations involving a number of first languages; 13 of the 17 authors are English-as-a-second-language speakers, many working in non-US contexts. This work develops a coherent agenda for contrastive rhetoric researchers, studying genres such as school writing, grant proposals, business letters, newspaper editorials, book reviews, and newspaper commentaries. Four chapters provide ethnographies and observations about contrastive rhetoric and the teaching of EFL and ESL. The book ends with a look to the future, suggesting it is more accurate to use the term ‘intercultural rhetoric’ to account for the richness of rhetoric variation of written texts and the varying contexts in which they are constructed.
Book Synopsis Intercultural Rhetoric in the Writing Classroom by : Ulla Connor
Download or read book Intercultural Rhetoric in the Writing Classroom written by Ulla Connor and published by University of Michigan Press ELT. This book was released on 2011 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is easy to argue that the need for attention to how we navigate rhetorically within and across cultures has never been greater, given ever-increasing global migrations and seemingly instantaneous global communication. Yet, the conceptual basis of intercultural rhetoric (also known in the past as contrastive rhetoric) has been under fire ever since it first emerged as an area of research and pedagogical interest. In recent years, Ulla Connor has built a steadily more extensive and sophisticated case for how a culturally contextualized study of rhetoric in any media can be carried out without static and reductive over-generalizations about culture/s or rhetoric. This volume provides both an eloquent summation and further theoretical expansion of Connor’s arguments. Readers who have wondered about the possibility of exploring connections between their students’ (or anyone’s) culture and discourse style will find many of their questions addressed in this volume; other readers who have not previously raised such questions will very likely begin to see the value of doing so.

Book Synopsis Cultural Differences in Academic Rhetoric by : Anna Mauranen
Download or read book Cultural Differences in Academic Rhetoric written by Anna Mauranen and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 1993 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic writing is rhetorical and culturally conditioned. What in one culture appears as effective and proper, can in a new cultural context look like chaotic writing and sloppy thinking. To discover the ways in which such impressions are made, we need careful textual analysis of academic writing in different cultural contexts. This book takes a textlinguistic approach and contrasts academic journal articles in a large and dominant culture (Anglo-American), a small and peripheral one (Finnish), and the intercultural products of the small culture members writing in the dominant language (Finns in English). The results indicate that academics do have culture-specific writing styles, and that textlinguistic tools are crucial if we want to expand our understanding of written communication.
Download or read book Casting Gender written by John T. Warren and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2005 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Casting Gender puts forward a vision of theatre, storytelling, and the performance of the everyday function within the lived spaces of its performers and audiences, asking how women artists/scholars embody meaning, carry social value, and constitute possible identities. Drawing on scholarship in intercultural communication, performance studies, women's studies, and cultural studies, this collection of new, critically informed research advances our understanding of how theater works as intercultural communication and as a vehicle for change. Casting Gender offers varied locations and sites of research, highlighting the rich diversity of women's cultural identities, roles, and societal positions. This book moves beyond the western-centered nature of intercultural performance and intercultural communication theory and practice by creating a forum for nonwestern voices.

Book Synopsis Scientific Discourse and the Rhetoric of Globalization by : Carmen Pérez-Llantada
Download or read book Scientific Discourse and the Rhetoric of Globalization written by Carmen Pérez-Llantada and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-29 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rhetorical practices involved with the dissemination of scientific discourse are shifting. Addressing these changes, this book places the discourse of science in an increasingly multilingual and multicultural academic area. It contests monolingual assumptions informing scientific discourse, calling attention to emerging glocal discourses that make hybrids of the standard globalized and local academic English norms.English clearly has a hegemonic role as the lingua franca of global academia; this book conducts an intercultural rhetorical and textographic analysis to compare how Anglophone and non-Anglophone academics utilise the standardized rhetorical conventions for scientific writing. It takes an academic literacies approach, providing a rhetorically and pedagogically informed discussion. It enquires into the process of linguistic and rhetorical acculturation of both monolingual and multilingual scholars, and in doing so redefines the contemporary rhetoric of science.

Book Synopsis Critical and Corpus-based Approaches to Intercultural Rhetoric by : Diane Dewhurst Belcher
Download or read book Critical and Corpus-based Approaches to Intercultural Rhetoric written by Diane Dewhurst Belcher and published by University of Michigan Press ELT. This book was released on 2013 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume uniquely explores critical and corpus-based perspectives on intercultural rhetoric. Many chapters examine what is meant by "culture" and how that affects research and pedagogy, particularly with regard to new forms of literacy. The contents of this book are well situated within a tradition of inquiry that has developed since Kaplan's famous 1966 article while at the same time exploring new areas of interest with new kinds of research tools like corpus linguistics, which has greatly impacted how intercultural rhetoric is researched. The volume has four parts: Corpus and Critical Perspectives, which features chapters by Ulla Connor and Will Baker; Critical-Analytical Approaches, which features chapters by Xiaoye You, Ramon Escamilla, and Guillaume Gentil; Corpus-Based Approaches, which features chapters by Eric Friginal, Amanda Lanier Temples and Gayle Nelson, and Viviana Cortes and Jack A. Hardy; and Next Steps, which features a chapter by Suresh Canagarajah and the sequel to the conversation between Dwight Atkinson and Paul Kei Matsuda that was begun in 2008. In his Afterword, Joel Bloch has called this volume "a testament to the endurance of intercultural rhetoric."
