Politics & Rhetoric Summary

Politics & Rhetoric: Coming to Terms with Terms by G. Yoos

Interpretation and definition as rhetorical and logical modes are interactive in determining and precising meaning that transcends our repertoire of literal usage. Refining language use gives us the opportunity and freedom to explore and discover what never has been thought about, used, or expressed before.
