Rhetorical Function-Shifts in EST Discourse
Selinker, Larry; And Others
TESOL Quarterly, 12, 3, 311-20, Sep 78
This paper describes two methods of EST (English for Science and Technology) paragraph development: rhetorical process development and rhetorical function-shift development. A series of hypotheses set up to account for explicit and implicit information in some EST function-shift paragraphs that students have had difficulty learning to understand is discussed. (CFM)
