Abstract | Contemporary argument increasingly relies on quantitative information and reasoning, yet our profession neglects to view these means of persuasion as central to rhetorical arts. Such omission ironically serves to privilege quantitative arguments as above "mere rhetoric." Changes are needed to our textbooks, writing assignments, and instructor development programs to broaden how both we and our students perceive rhetoric. (Contains 1 figure, 1 table and 7 notes.) (As Provided). |
