Linguistic Descriptions of Speaking and Writing and Their Impact on Composition Pedagogy.

Schafer, John C.

Journal of Advanced Composition, v4 p85-106 1983

Examines three phases of linguistics' influence on writing instruction. Suggests that the production of context-independent, explicit texts is too narrow a goal and that helping students imitate speech in their writing is a proper goal for an advanced composition class. (RAE)
