  • "From the Back Cover: A provocative book that presents argument as a primary rhetorical mode, the sixth edition of The Language of Argument creates an exciting learning environment with 79 new essays on such controversial topics as aid to the Contras, sex scandals, the NFL strike, women's rights, and federal deficits. Examples of persuasive writing in essays, editorials, advertisements, and cartoons illustrate such aspects of persuasive writing as induction, deduction, argument by authority, semantic argument, fallacies, and statistics. Features: Helps students write effective arguments and recognize those that are fallacious; Provides lucid, authoritative introductions to important aspects of persuasive writing; Promotes lively classroom discussions with provocative arguments such as H. Clay Bennett's "A Recent Graduate of the Bernhard Goetz School of Self-Defense" and Bob Roesler's "NFL Owners Have Rights, Too"; Offers eight rules for good writing covering how to obtain facts, organize material, write with style, and punctuate correctly."
