This essay develops an “Inferential Model” of rhetorical criticism which integrates procedures from qualitative methodology with more traditional perspectives from communication and rhetoric. The method allows the critic to generate an interpretive evaluation of discourses which incorporates insights from both critic and audience. Given the overall method, “The Empire Strikes Back” is examined in terms of the responses of children. Finally, the essay suggests how the method can overcome some problems related to audience‐centered criticism as well as bridge the gap between critic and public
