The Erasure of the Sentence.
Connors, Robert J.
College Composition and Communication, v52 n1 p96-128 Sep 2000
Examines the sentence-based pedagogies that arose in composition during the 1960s and 1970s (the generative rhetoric of Francis Christensen, imitation exercises, and sentence-combining) and attempts to discern why these three pedagogies have been so completely elided within contemporary composition studies. Concludes that this erasure of sentence pedagogies is based mostly on a purely grammatical discourse. (SC)
