"Nous, Nous Ensemble": Orality and Group-Directedness Shaping Written Discourse.
Moore, Thomas R.
Writing on the Edge, v3 n2 p50-63 Spr 1992
Compares essays by college students from Mali and from the United States, exploring cross-culturally the influence of orality and audience or written discourse. Finds that the "other-directed," group-directed dimension of the Malians' writing contrasts with the overwhelming by self-referential dimension of the U.S. students. (SR)
