Description

How Students Write: A Linguistic Analysis by Laura Louise Aull explores the sentence-level patterns in student writing to understand how students present evidence, draw connections between ideas and learn to construct knowledge in their writing.

This study uses corpus linguistics techniques to analyze first-year and upper-level student writing, examining the discourse of students at different points in their education. It also distinguishes between argumentative and analytic essays to explore how school genres and assignments shape students' choices.

By focusing on features such as hedges and boosters, this book shows how rhetorical choices work together to open or close opportunities for thoughtful exchanges of ideas. This analysis can help instructors foster civil discourse, design effective assignments and expose and question norms of higher education.
