Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Contrastive Rhetoric has been growing since 1966 and nobody had taken care of setting down its theoretical foundations and its reserch methodology until Ulla Connor has done it. The most influential specialist on CR together with Robert B. Kaplan has reviewed its past, clearly described its present and definitely exposed its future. An essential book if you want to learn about Writing across Cultures. Perfect. Fernando Trujillo (ftsaez@platon.ugr.es) Ceuta, Spain
