Support Material Adds to the Bare Bones
Jay R. Gould · Journal of Technical Writing and Communication · 1976
In this paper are discussed some of the techniques used as support material for article content. Narrative and descriptive examples give life and validity to general statements. References to events, facts, and statistics reinforce whatever the author has to say. Interviewing is important. Various appeals are also discussed, together with brief reference to deductive and inductive reasoning.
