Rhetorical Grammar: Grammatical Choices, Rhetorical Effects Plus Pearson Writer -- Access Card Package [With Access Code]

By Loretta S. Gray and Martha J. Kolln

KEY BENEFIT Rhetorical Grammar encourages writers to recognize and use the grammatical and stylistic choices available to them, and to understand the effects of those choices on their readers. Kolin and Gray ask readers to regard sentence structure as a toolkit -- and its application an artful way to elicit a desired emotion or reaction -- rather than a list of tedious rules to remember. In this way, grammar is defined as an intellectual exercise that opens readers' minds to the versatility, beauty, and possibilities of language. The Eighth Edition offers a more intuitive content organization, updated passage selections, and current exercises and examples. It maintains its hallmark revision strategies and systematic discussions about reader expectations, sentence rhythm and cohesion, subordination and coordination, punctuation, modification, diction, and many other essential principles. KEY TOPICS A Review of Words and Phrases; Sentence Patterns; Our Versatile Verbs; Coordination and Subordination; Choosing Adverbials; Choosing Adjectivals; Choosing Nominals; Other Stylistic Variations; Cohesion; Sentence Rhythm; The Writer's Voice; Words and Word Classes; Punctuation: Its Purposes and Its Rhetorical Effects MARKET For anyone interested in advanced composition. 0134140214 / 9780134140216 Rhetorical Grammar: Grammatical Choices, Rhetorical Effects Plus Pearson Writer -- Access Card Package, 8/e Package consists of: 0134080378 / 9780134140216 Rhetorical Grammar: Grammatical Choices, Rhetorical Effects 032197235X / 9780321972354 Writer -- ValuePack Access Card
