By way of summarizing, the guest editor suggests areas in which the dual‐career lifestyle might be further examined from a communication perspective.","PeriodicalId":234061,"journal":{"name":"Southern Speech Communication Journal","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114770552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, the paper argues that parliamentary procedure determines the decision rules of argument and, indirectly, the strategies employed.","PeriodicalId":234061,"journal":{"name":"Southern Speech Communication Journal","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126894980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Arguing that formula romances are a source of powerful influence, the author applies fantasy theme analysis to thirteen Cartland novels. The analysis reveals a vision which teaches readers three lessons about malelfemale relationships. First, desirable women are vulnerable, tractable, nurturing, self‐sacrificing, and spiritual. Second, undesirable women are assertive, persistent, independent, immoral, and sexual. Third, true love is powerful because it is based in female fear and sanctioned by a superhuman force. The author argues that the Cartland vision provides readers with stability and validation for traditional role models in a time of sex role confusion and transition.","PeriodicalId":234061,"journal":{"name":"Southern Speech Communication Journal","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134110873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

C. These stages provide evidence for Eric A. Havelock's “dynamic tension” between oral and written traditions. The author argues on the basis of Frances A. Yates’ two categories of memory that both the verbatim memory of words and the memory of things (arguments) interact with writing in three stages: first words and arguments are composed, preserved and published by memory alone; second, orally composed words and arguments preserved in writing are published by memory; and third, spoken words and arguments composed with the aid of memory are preserved in writing, then published by reading a written text aloud.","PeriodicalId":234061,"journal":{"name":"Southern Speech Communication Journal","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116480934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early, predictive assessments suggested, though, that integration eventually would prevail because Americans are “moral conscious,” typically acting with “high national and Christian precepts.” For Southerners, however, that “American Creed” received indirect but vital corroboration from historians as opinion leaders. This process of rhetorical influence is illustrated here with an analysis of Woodrow Wilson's popular textbook Division and Reunion 1829–1889, and its message on behalf of the pragmatic complement of morality: economic prosperity.","PeriodicalId":234061,"journal":{"name":"Southern Speech Communication Journal","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133685522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
