Rhetorical Structure Analysis and the Case of the Inaccurate, Incoherent Source-Hopper.
O'Brien, Teresa
Applied Linguistics, v16 n4 p442-82 Dec 1995
Presents a case study comparing a native-speaker undergraduate's performance on an examination and a coursework essay. Relational analysis facilitated text-linguistic comparison of two texts. The study contrasts an adequate handling of material in memory in examination conditions with the uncertain handling of difficult source materials. (40 references) (Author/CK)
