Rhetoric's Outliers in Second Language Writing: A Corpus-Enabled Study

Jay Jordan

Abstract

This webtext reports on initial corpus-based analysis of roughly 45 years' worth of scholarship in top-tier journals in the field of second language writing. Findings suggest that while “rhetoric” is variously inflected by specific, historical preoccupations of the field, articles throughout the corpus evince a sustained interest in deploying “rhetoric” as a label that names explicit pedagogical targets for multilingual student writers.
