With contributions by sixteen scholars from such diverse fields as
communication, linguistics, literary studies, rhetoric, and
sociology of sciences, Essays in the Study of Scientific Discourse
continues the contemporary discussion about the origin and nature
of scientific discourse and its function in today's society. Essays
document the increasing importance of rhetorical expertise in
scientific discourse, shed new light into the history and language
of science, and offer pedagogical guidance for teachers of
scientific writing. Readers may also discover new topics for
scholarly research in scientific discourse. Gay and Ted Gragson,
for instance, show how technological advances may increase the
rhetorical complexity of the grant proposal process, while J.
Harrison Carpenter reveals the rhetorical power of the scientific
report. In a related study, Cynthia Haller shows how scientific
claims change as they mover from the scientific to the public
arena. Dwight Atkinson gives empiricists a new methodology by
integrating rhetorical analysis with sociolinguistic methodology.
Richard Johnson-Sheehan and Dan Ding describe the evolution of
scientific metaphor and passive voice, respectively. Ramon Plo
Alastrue, Carmen Ramon Plo Alastrue-Llantada, and Rosemary Horowitz
offer advice for teachers of scientific writing, while Steven
Darian explores the intricacies and argumentative power of
scientific classification schemas. In turn, Philippa Benson gives
editorial advice to writers of scientific texts. Gender issues in
scientific writing are addressed by Christine Skolnik and Mary
Rosner. Trevor Pinch and Charles Alan Taylor put the cold fusion
controversy of 1989 in critical perspective.
