Part Three: Research and Argumentation 414 98 Perhaps best known in this regard is Bruce Ballenger, author of The Curious Researcher , a text which has greatly impacted my philosophies of research and research writing 99 See Filloux. 100 Inspired by Kenneth Burke. Burke, Kenneth. The Philosophy of Literary Form, University of California Press, 1941. 101 Depending on your rhetorical situation, you might also ask if your question is arguable, rather than answerable. 102 Teachers also refer to very complex or subjective questions as “not researchable”—so it’s likely that your research question will need to be both arguabl e 101 a nd researchable. 103 This exercise is loosely based on Ballenger’s “Interest Inventory” exercise.
