Book Description

December 24, 1997 0395874637 978-0395874639 5th
The authors of About Language encourage students to use language more responsibly in their own writing. More than 70 reading selections cover a broad range of issues, including cultural diversity, censorship, and gender. Strong support is provided by an opening chapter on the writing process; annotated table of contents; chapter introductions; selection headnotes, study questions and writing assignments; end-of-chapter writing assignments and research activities; and a glossary of language and rhetorical terms.

3.0 out of 5 stars Student Review, February 17, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: About Language: A Reader for Writers (Paperback)
Being grad student, I was required to purchase this book. It has some good points, but is a bit complicated and unclear at times. I will say that Roberts and Turgeon offer various viewpoints on the impact of language.
