Abstract
Contrastive rhetoric is often seen as an obstacle in negotiating meaning. Past studies have focused on one of three discourse features: language, cognition, or discipline. This study examines the combination of discourse features creating a complex rhetoric to help students negotiate meaning. Attendees will gain a better understanding of contrastive rhetorics, why they clash, and how to manage, not necessarily modify, those clashes.

Contrastive rhetoric is often seen as an obstacle in negotiating meaning. Past studies have focused on one of three discourse features: language, cognition, or discipline. This study examines the combination of discourse features creating a complex rhetoric to help students negotiate meaning. Attendees will gain a better understanding of contrastive rhetorics, why they clash, and how to manage, not necessarily modify, those clashes.
