Abstract | After noting that the revisions made by corporate writers contained significant modifications in the original propositions, to the extent that they may have changed the meaning of the proposition, a study was undertaken to see if the same phenomenon occurred among students and teachers. Subjects were Hong Kong secondary school students and a graduate student. Comparison of the students' original writing and revisions showed evidence of both modification and elaboration of propositions in the process of rewriting. A number of excerpts from the writings are presented and analyzed. It is proposed that establishing and maintaining coherence in a text be taught to students, and that the issue of propositional modification be used for this purpose. Contains 17 references. (MSE) |
