In this essay, Kenneth Burke re‐examines his distinction between dramatism and logology which he proposed in 1968, Dramatism is treated as a technique for analyzing language as a mode of action in which specialized nomenclatures are recognized, each with particular ends and insights. Logology is cast as the study of the knowledge acquired by the human being's aptitude for learning communication. Implications for the rhetoric‐as‐epistemic question conclude this discussion.
