2008The field of rhetoric provides unique
frameworks and tools for understanding
the role of language in
moral reasoning and corruption.
Drawing on a discursive understanding
of the self, we focus on how the
rhetoric of conversations constructs
and shapes our moral reasoning
and moral behavior. Using rhetorical
appeals and a moral development
framework, we construct three
propositions that use variation in
the rhetoric of conversations to
identify and predict corruption. We
discuss some of the implications of
our model.
