Abstract
Through the principles of the dramatistic nature of language, Kenneth Burke creates a unifying rationale of form. As such, form is the discursive progression of an idea to the satisfaction of audience expectations; these expectations are the product of rules of language use and of the conventional wisdom of society.Keywords
