Keywords in Composition Studies by Vandenberg, Owens, Heilker.

This piece is about how one must choose certain keywords in their discourse -this isn't to say that all words cannot be seen as keywords, based on differentiation in Rhetorical Situation. These differentiations revolve around the involvement with figuring out what an audience wants to hear, to coherence, which is explicitly linked to making sure the words you choose actually make sense in a Rhetorical situation, and of course, the collaborative act between the author and the reader within a Rhetorical Situation.

These are only a few of the Rhetorical Situations one can find within the piece, but they are among the greatest examples of what one can do to ease the pressures of dealing with the audience. It only takes this sort of control to fully understand kind of undertaking must be made in regards to Ethos, Pathos, etc. This is a very concise map of all the different sorts of definitions that one might come across, and use to their advantage, in regards to Rhetoric.
