The Aboutness of Writing Center Talk (eBook, PDF)

A Corpus-Driven and Discourse Analysis

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book analyzes the aboutness of writing center talk-what tutors and student writers talk about when they come together to talk about writing. By combining corpus-driven analysis to provide a quantitative, microlevel view of the subject matter and sociocultural discourse analysis to provide a qualitative macrolevel view of tutor-student writer interactions, it further establishes how these two research methods operate together to produce a robust and rigorous analysis of spoken discourse.
