Notes
A prototype version of this paper, “Metadiscourse and Its Rhetorical Environment,” was presented at the 4th biennial conference of Rhetoric Society of America, Minneapolis, Minnesota, May 21–23, 1992; it will be published in the conference Proceedings. I thank Theresa Enos, and peer‐reviewers Muriel Saville‐Troike and Duane Roen, for their advice and suggestions; any faults that remain in the essay are mine alone.
