Titular colonicity (presence of colon in title) is shown to index the progress of scholarship over a century. Analysis of 1,150 titles in education, psychology, and literary criticism reveals use of the colon in the majority of contemporary titles across disciplines, thereby demonstrating the progressive complexity of scholarship.

Dyslexic students may be disadvantaged in their use of written language, impeding academic achievement, and requiring remediation and concessions.

Brand, Alice G. – 1996
Suggesting that neuroscience and the actualities of brain circuitry can provide guidance for what is misunderstood in writing education, namely, the role of subjectivity and values in the composing process, this paper argues that neuroscience provides corporeal evidence for the salience of particular brain structures and processes responsible for…

Analyzes published student written legal research papers that can serve as a model for the teaching of seminar paper writing.

Busch, Hans Jorg – Hispania, 1994

Students liked this form of instruction, and most indicated that they had learned material previously unknown to them. (seven references) (Author/CK)

Horner, Winifred B. – 1978
In contrast to a speech-act theory that is limited by a simple speaker/hearer relationship, a text-act theory of written language allows for the historical or personal context of a writer and reader, both in the written work itself and in the act of reading. This theory can be applied to theme writing, essay examinations, and revision in the…

A community-based language model used with Lakota college students empowers students by teaching critical writing that fuses…
