Further Contributions from the Ethical Turn in Composition/Rhetoric: Analyzing Ethics in Interaction

Ellen Barton

Abstract

In this essay, I propose that the field of composition/rhetoric can make important contributions to the understanding of ethics based on our critical perspective on language as interactional and rhetorical. The actual language of decision making with ethical dimensions has rarely been studied directly in the literature, a crucial gap our field can usefully fill.
