Legitimizing the Wound: Mapping the Military's Diagnostic Discourse of Traumatic Brain Injury

Following reports spanning from the beginning of the OEF (Operation Enduring Freedom) and OIF (Operation Iraqi Freedom) conflicts to the early 2010s, this rhetorical investigation analyzes the U.S. military's diagnostic practices used to identify mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in blast-affected troops. Considering the notion of “wound/injury” as a possible boundary object, this paper discusses how the conceptual framing of “invisible” injuries may produce interruptions of distrust that inhibit effective diagnosis.     

Multimodality in the Technical Communication Classroom: Viewing Classical Rhetoric Through a 21st Century Lens

The authors provide a robust framework for using rhetorical foundations to teach multimodality in technical communication, describing a pedagogical approach wherein students consider the rhetorical canons—invention, arrangement, style, delivery, and memory—when developing texts beyond print. Students learn to assess their own work, reflecting on how each canon contributed to the rhetorical effectiveness of their multimodal projects. The authors argue for using the canons as a rhetorical foundation for helping students understand technical communication in the digital age.     

修辞学研究应有的格局与坚持——序宗廷虎、李金苓先生80华诞纪念文集《追梦修辞学五十年》

宗廷虎与李金苓夫妇同为复旦大学中文系教授,都是师从中国现代修辞学之父、复旦大学老校长陈望道先生学习修辞学的。他们从学生时代开始学习研究修辞学,直到耄耋之年,仍然心系修辞学,魂牵修辞学,穷其一生,矢志不渝地在修辞学园地辛勤地耕耘、拓荒。他们在修辞学研究上所取得的成就,为中国修辞学界同仁所一致公认。他们成功的秘诀有两点:一是对修辞学这门学问的坚持,二是有自己研究应有的格局。

The duality of scientific ethos: Deep and surface structures

Aristotle's concept of ethos is primarily one based on civic duty, and as such loses its specificity when extended to the scientific forum. By adapting Aristotle's traditional concept of ethos to contemporary social norms of science, a link can be established between classical theory and contemporary practice. In this essay, I use Robert Merton's theory of the normative conditions of science to perform a meta‐critique of the use of ethos in four case studies. This meta‐analysis reveals the dual structure of ethos as reflected in a surface structure of style and a deep structure of argument.     

相得益彰--通感与比拟的兼用

各种辞格的综合运用是一种很正常的现象，以往在对通感格的研究中，对借助比喻的形式而将各种感觉沟通的所谓比喻式通感说得比较多，而与其他辞格兼用的通感格似乎关注不够，如比拟和通感兼用也会产生非常奇妙的修辞效果。     

When homelessness becomes a “luxury”: Neutrality as an obstacle to counterpublic rights claims

Rhetorical scholars have consistently demonstrated the value of engaging with difference in processes of public deliberation, yet publics still regularly make arguments on the basis of neutrality. Using a case study of advocacy for homeless bills of rights, I employ rhetorical field methods to assess vernacular responses to counterpublic rights claims. By attending to neutrality’s rhetorical force in practice, I examine how it enables publics to deny counterpublic assertions of inequality and obstruct counterpublic rights claims. I argue that neutrality allows publics to deny counterpublics’ needs, define counterpublics’ identities, and disguise their own self-interest. The theory of neutrality I offer here pushes rhetoricians beyond questions of its (un)desirability and (im)possibility to an understanding of how it operates.     

英汉网络语言的构词共性研究

词汇是构成语言的三大要素之一,它在承载着语音的内容同时又体现着语法的功能。词汇作为一个开放的体系,是语言中最敏感、最富于变化的部分。网络的出现催生了大量的网络词语。我们的研究表明,英汉网络词语主要通过合成、缩略、转义和生造法构成,体现了两种语言的共性,反映了网络语言的简洁、新颖和不稳定性。

“Nobody Really Wants to be Called Bossy or Domineering”

This article examines talks given by 12 female media professionals at a Southern US university’s center on women in communication between 2013 and 2015 to identify the influence of hegemonic masculinity in industry speak about women and professionalism in the fields of journalism, advertising, and public relations. This paper applies a feminist critique of discussions about “work–life balance,” “leaning in,” “emotion,” and language about the role of technology and innovation in women’s careers, to argue that inherent in these discussions about media professionalism are traits that perpetuate binary notions of feminine–masculine traits of the workplace. As a whole, these messages fail to account for notions of intersectionality and perpetuate inequality and masculine power for future professionals.
