Infancia, Comunicación, Consumo

In a situation where a student might have an argument with a teacher about a grade he or she received, an example of a statement that might use expressive design logic would sound like this: “You are so unfair. You are always out to get me!”

An example of a statement using conventional design logic might sound like this:

“I worked hard on this project. Your expectations of me are higher than anyone else in this class because I am the only one who is a major.”

An example of a statement that uses rhetorical design logic might sound like this:

“I would like to sit down with you and go over the grading of my project. I believe that if I have the chance to explain a bit more about what I did, you might be able to re-evaluate my grade. Additionally, I am unclear about some of the comment you made. I hope that through discussing it, I might get a better idea about exactly what it is that you expected to be done for this assignment.”

Pola outra banda está, non esquezamos a complexidade cognitiva e relacional do interlocutor, que pode afectar á capacidade expresiva tanto ou máis. E:

Socializing a new generation of sophisticated speakers.

A. Constructivist researchers show that cognitive complexity is transmitted culturally
from parent to child.
B. Because sophisticated messages are more often the product of parents from
advantaged socioeconomic backgrounds, advantage is self-perpetuating.
