Abstract

Marxist dialectics has three components or alternative forms: thought, description, and discourse. Each provides a different reading of the nature of critical language and of the status of the rhetorical interest. Finally, dialectics locates language within the social formation; rhetoric itself constitutes a social formation as a domain of communicative space.
