D'Angelo, Frank J. frey50
A Conceptual Theory of Rhetoric by Frank J. D'Angelo - Cambridge, Massachusetts Winthrop Publishers, Inc. 1975 - 183 p.
Includes bibliography
In this book, the relationships that exist between thinking and writing are explored within the framework of a coherent theoretical system of rhetoric. The principal arguments are as follows: invention, arrangement, and style are connected to each other and to underlying thought processes in important ways; invention continues throughout the composing process; the topics of invention are symbolic manifestations of underlying thought processes; nonlogical thought processes are important in the composing process; the composing process is holistic and organic, the composing process is a movement from an undifferentiated whole to a differentiated whole and repeats larger evolutionary processes in microcosm; the overall shape of a discourse is more important than its parts; form consciousness is essential to good writing; syntagmatic and paradigmatic analyses of structure in discourse can be useful in developing a sense of form consciousness and in producing discourse; and rhetoric is by its very nature interdisciplinary.
