This volume explores the field of contrastive rhetoric, the study
of how a person's first language and culture influence his or her
writing in a second language. It presents a comprehensive view of
the research in this field, emphasizing the connections between
contrastive rhetoric and the related disciplines of composition
studies, cultural anthropology, translation studies, and text
linguistics. Connor draws on this research to provide sound advice
for dealing with cross-cultural issues in a variety of second
language writing contexts. Her goal is to make teachers aware of
the many factors influencing their students' attempts to compose
effective texts and to help teachers draw on the resources
individual learners bring to the writing task. It is a solid
reference for researchers and teachers in the field of second
language writing.
