This article reviews scholarship on the interdependence of rhetoric and poetic language and proposes a performance as argument model for the oral interpretation of literature. The article places the model in the context of current work on the relationship of narrative to argument and suggests the benefits gained from adoption of the model for the generation of critical discourse from performance‐based knowledge.

This study examined the effects of humor used by a group leader in terms of the target of the humor. The results indicated that the leader who used self‐disparaging humor was perceived as more effective at relieving tension and encouraging member participation, and appeared more willing to share opinions. The leader who used superior‐targeted humor received lower ratings on helpfulness to group communication and willingness to share opinions. The leader who used subordinate‐targeted humor received lower ratings on social attractiveness and as a tension reliever and summarizer of members’ input. In some instances, the leader who used no humor received higher ratings.

The role of superior and subordinate relationships in successful organizational functioning has been a primary concern of communication researchers for decades. However, two important issues have been neglected in the past: (1) the dimensions of congruent communicative expectations in supervisor and subordinate relationships; and (2) the focus upon symbolic exchanges between supervisors and subordinates from a communicative perspective. This paper first addresses the dimensions of expectancy theory as it interfaces with human communicative behavior, and second, examines human expectancies from a communicative perspective. Finally, it proposes an expectancy model of human symbolic activity centering communicative expectancies with supervisor and subordinate relationships.

Previous literature concerning the hero myth has not addressed how someone becomes a contemporary folk hero. This essay suggests that an answer can be found within the mythopoetic role of the media. The mediated “Chrysler drama” and subsequent popular proclamation of Lee Iacocca as a national folk hero is examined as a case study to determine the rhetorical strategies that present mediated actions and actors as “heroic.”

L. Smith, J. L. Golden
This essay examines the television advertising from the 1984 North Carolina senate race between Jesse Helms and James Hunt through Burke's representative anecdote. Following the metaphoric approach to anecdotal analysis, the authors review two groups of discourse in pursuit of their fundamental qualities. The evidence indicates that Helms’ use of the “Soap Opera” anecdote proved superior to Hunt's random, one‐shot, style of storytelling. This conclusion leads the authors to argue that thematic continuity is a fundamental ingredient of effective electronic storytelling.

This paper examines the act of protest suicide as a form of rhetoric. Three representative cases of protest suicide, those of Emily Wilding Davison, Terence James MacSwiney, and Norman Morrison/Roger LaPorte, are studied for insight into the following unanswered questions concerning this act. What blend of emotional expression and movement goals motivates the actor? In a free society with other avenues of dissent open, why choose an act as extreme and irrevocable as protest suicide? What is the act's impact on those within and those outside the movement? By viewing protest suicide as a form of “symbolic inducement,” this method of dissent may be seen as a rhetorical act whose motivation, form and impact can be better understood.

This essay responds to several calls for an explication of the theoretical basis of argument in negotiation. Argument tends to be a generic term in negotiation studies, yet the manner in which argument is operationalized has great impact on the type of interpretations a researcher can make of his/her data. Four current argumentative perspectives are used to examine the nature and function of argument in organizational bargaining research. Toulmin's argument field perspective offers the most thorough analysis of labor‐management negotiations.

This study investigated the effects of subject sex and target sex on reported conflict management styles. Subjects (n = 147) were instructed to think of either a same‐ or opposite‐sex person while completing the Thomas‐Kilmann Conflict Mode instrument. Results indicated that males were more likely than females to report using a competing style, while females were more likely than males to report using a compromising style. Regardless of their own gender, all subjects were more likely to report using an accommodating style if the target was female. Implications of these findings are discussed.

Performers of literature maintain that performance is a literary critical method, but the critical insights derived from a specific performance rarely get translated into critical discourse. This essay describes two narrative techniques revealed in a chamber theatre production of Grace Paley fiction in order to argue that chamber theatre, by forcing us to attend to particular types of narrative issues, functions as a critical methodology. By articulating insights explicated through performance, we substantiate our claim that performance functions as criticism and add to the body of performance theory.
