"They Say / I Say teaches students the rhetorical moves found in persuasive writing across all disciplines. The authors focus on the central rhetorical move that gives the book its title: how to begin with what others have said ("they say") in order to set up one's own argument ("I say"). The approach is practical and effective, and the language is engaging and jargon-free." / Publisher's website. « Ils disent / je dis enseigne aux étudiants les mouvements rhétoriques trouvés dans l’écriture persuasive dans toutes les disciplines. Les auteurs se concentrent sur le mouvement rhétorique central qui donne au livre son titre : comment commencer avec ce que d’autres ont dit ("ils disent") afin de mettre en place son propre argument ("je dis"). L’approche est pratique et efficace, et le langage est engageant et sans jargon. »
