Abstract
By the summer of 1922, Kenneth Burke adopted several philosophical assumptions which entailed a rejection of formalism and coincided with his move towards dramatism. This trend, which eventually placed the study of language at the center of understanding human relations, is revealed in an exchange of letters with Waldo Frank.Keywords
