Henry St. Maurice

SAGE Open, 2014, vol. 4, issue 4, 2158244014560546

Abstract: Analysis of definite articles in Leopold’s essay The Land Ethic found evidence of deliberate usage of a rhetorical device for emphasis. The device, a type of definite article, is commonly used and usually abused. Leopold’s uses evidently affected his essay’s contribution to environmental communications.
