Defining Problems in Reading Research (Research Views).
Mosenthal, Peter B.
Reading Teacher, v42 n9 p718-19 May 1989
Examines two metaphors for reading research approaches: the "vertical grave metaphor" and the "architectural design metaphor." Claims that while "vertical grave" researchers only add to the body of knowledge by publishing articles, "architectural" researchers actually deal with real world problems. Notes that reading researchers usually belong to the first category. (MM)
