About this title

Synopsis

This book transcends current research on writing by relating written text to the cognitive and social processes that create and change it. It includes key features such as: reciprocity as a principle of discourse; language development as socialization; context, explicitness, genre, topic, and comment as concepts in discourse analysis; and writing and reading as social processes.

Review

"Stimulating, provocative, wide-ranging. Nystrand appropriately describes this as 'an ideas book' and readers hungry for insights into the processes of writing are provided with a feast."
--APPLIED PSYCHOLINGUSTICS
"We regard The Structure of Written Communication as an excitingly ambitious attempt--perhaps the most exciting and the most ambitious to appear to date-to give us a vocabulary and a grounding principle for talking about the complex interactions among the textual, contextual, and ideational components that allow writers and readers to communicate through written language."
--Stephen P. Witte and David Elias in STYLE
