On the Outside Looking in: Students' Analyses of Professional Discourse Communities.

Ronald, Kate

Rhetoric Review, v7 n1 p130-49 Fall 1988

Describes students' attempts to use rhetorical analysis to study the professional communities they intend to enter. Asks whether analyzing discourse conventions can help students feel like initiates in their chosen profession, and explores how such analyses might contribute to writing-across-the-curriculum as a whole.
