Abstract | Examines the guideline that tells writers not to use existential, or "empty," there. Finds that expert writers use "there" for important linguistic and rhetorical purposes. Claims there is little justification for a prescriptive rule against such practice, and that all handbook rules should be subjected to quantitative and qualitative analysis. (JAD) |
