Dawkins, John. "Teaching Punctuation as a Rhetorical Tool."
CCC 46.4 (1995): 533-548.
Abstract:
Claiming that handbooks problematically teach punctuation as grammatically wrong or right, Dawkins outlines how writers can be taught to use a hierarchy of punctuation marks: ones that mark degrees of separation between independent clauses and thereby fashion and enhance meaning.
