Language in the Balance: Lexical Repetition as a Function of Topic, Cultural Background, and Writing Development.
Reynolds, Dudley W.
Language Learning, v51 n3 p437-76 Sep 2001
Examined writers' use of lexical repetition changes in relation to writing topic, cultural background, and development of writing ability. Multiple regression analysis indicates writing ability measures are the most important variables for predicting changes in repetition usage, with less significant effects found for cultural background.
