The Rhetor as Dialectician in "Last Chance for Survival."
Lake, Randall A.
Communication Monographs, v53 n3 p201-20 Sep 1986
Examines the challenge posed by the naturalist philosophy of language--the view that the meanings of symbols are fixed by the environment. Compares the naturalist philosophy with that presented in an activist Native American essay that argues for the preservation of traditional native languages. (SRT)
