Literacy Literacy.
Kintgen, Eugene R.
Visible Language, v22 n2-3 p149-68 Spr 1988
Traces the different historical senses of the term literacy to see why it was chosen for generalization. Examines the semantic aspects of the term as currently used in three cases--scientific literacy, visual literacy, and cultural literacy. Discusses evaluative and analytic conceptions of literacy.
