Abstract | What is the relationship, in US writing studies, between scholarship about writing and scholarship about language? What should it be? "Language" and "linguistics" in general have been othered; "internationalization" or "mondialisation" might serve as catalyst for exchange and collaboration and making "the language question" essentially unavoidable for all writing scholars and teachers in ways that can productively lead to new partnerships or at least to mutually respectful growth. Looking back at ourselves via elements of language study--in particular, the way linguists might see "code" and linguistic models of "transfer"--suggests that WAC/WID, writing studies, and other expertises in language as connected to writing have the potential to be highly complementary, in response to internationalization's pressures and promises. We can begin to see that if writing studies had stayed closer to language questions, we might be more ready to understand some of the new challenges to writing for the 21st century. (As Provided). |
