From RhetorClick
I'm an ENGW major (professional writing track) at St. Edward's University planning to graduate in August and digital fellow at a global communications consulting firm. In my spare time, I'm also an amateur blogger, Twitter addict, and advocate for all sorts of politically conservative causes that make most of my fellow classmates unhappy.
Contributions:
- Edited glossary entries, including streamlined formatting, correcting grammatical and factual errors, correcting order, and fleshing out very basic definitions
- Restructured the glossary to shrink the Contents box and match the Authors page
- Replaced/removed broken links in glossary entries; ensured consistency in links (e.g., whereas original links varied, every term from the Weaver article now links to Weaver, Richard "The Cultural Role of Rhetoric rather than “The Cultural Role of Rhetoric” by Richard Weaver)
- Added glossary entries: architectonic, casuistry, dialogism, endoxa, etymology, historicity, langue, modal qualifiers, monologism, monotonic reasoning, non-monotonic reasoning, parole, replicability, warrant, validity
- Removed unnecessary glossary entries based more on vocabulary than rhetorical terminology: ambiguity, disparagement, derided, extrinsic, imbued, iteration, object, scavenge, subverter
- Added a list of glossary terms to each article page linked (while not a perfect or particularly elegant system, I think it's a good first step to making the glossary a two-way resource - both from the glossary to the articles and vice versa)
- Added content to Rebecca Rickly
- Created a page for semanticism; added it to the Theories and Movements page
- Edited/updated Bryant, Donald C. "Rhetoric: Its Functions and Its Scope"
- Edited/updated Toulmin, Stephen "The Layout of Arguments"
- Edited/updated Rickly, Rebecca "Messy Contexts: Research as a Rhetorical Situation"
