Forming Constructs of Audience: Convention, Conflict, and Conversation.

Bocchi, Joseph S.

Journal of Business and Technical Communication, v5 n2 p151-72 Apr 1991

Examines the roles of convention, conflict, and conversation in the formation of audience constructs. Finds that writers' textual choices to address or invoke audiences are based more on institutional conventions than on either disciplinary conventions or on situational conditions and constraints.
