Rhetorical Grammar: Grammatical Choices, Rhetorical Effects
by Martha Kolln
This book is more than a writing text, and more than a grammar book. Kolln looks at grammar from a rhetorical point of view. She talks to us about keeping in mind reader expectations. Chapter 5 is dedicated to sentence rhythm, intonation and end focus. Chapter 13 addresses the syntactic, prosodic, and semantic purposes of punctuation, and its rhetorical effects.
If you’re looking for something more than grammar and writing conventions, something that builds your writing teacher repertoire, here is a strategic addition.
