5.0 out of 5 stars
The state-of-the-art book everybody demanded
Contrastive Rhetoric has been growing since 1966 and nobody had taken care of setting down its theoretical foundations and its reserch methodology until Ulla Connor has done it. The most influential specialist on CR together with Robert B. Kaplan has reviewed its past, clearly described its present and definitely exposed its future. An essential book if you want to learn...

$158? Blocks most students from buying it.
This text was assigned for my gradate contrastive rhetoric course, but my entire class is stuck reading it on an ereader from the library that is temperamental at best. Why?

This review is from: Contrastive Rhetoric: Reaching to intercultural rhetoric (Pragmatics and Beyond New Series) (Hardcover)
This text was assigned for my gradate contrastive rhetoric course, but my entire class is stuck reading it on an ereader from the library that is temperamental at best. Why? The $158 price tag for a 300+ page book makes this a tough buy.
The chapters (thus far) provide some excellent descriptions and new directions in CR. It is a must read for someone trying to enter the conversation on CR, but for now I'm sticking to the electronic version and reloading my browser when it crashes. For the content, this book should be in the $40-$60 range in Hardcover and $30-$50 in Paperback. Great book....horrible price (boo hiss).

This review is from: Contrastive Rhetoric: Cross-Cultural Aspects of Second Language Writing (Cambridge Applied Linguistics) (Paperback)
Contrastive Rhetoric has been growing since 1966 and nobody had taken care of setting down its theoretical foundations and its reserch methodology until Ulla Connor has done it. The most influential specialist on CR together with Robert B. Kaplan has reviewed its past, clearly described its present and definitely exposed its future. An essential book if you want to learn about Writing across Cultures. Perfect. Fernando Trujillo (ftsaez@platon.ugr.es) Ceuta, Spain
