O'Hanlon, Charlene – T.H.E. Journal, 2009
On Dec. 1, 2006, the once ambiguous role of e-mails in court cases became much more clear.

Morton, Janne – English for Specific Purposes, 2009
The process of disciplinary socialisation has been linked to a gradual mastery of a discipline's genres. This article takes a view of genre, as indexing a wide range of often implicit understandings about knowledge creation and use within a discipline, and as fully rhetorical.

Petto, Sarah; Petto, Andrew – Science Teacher, 2009

Greenberg, Allan – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2007
All buildings convey meaning--whether or not that was intended by architect and client--and it has little to do with questions of budget, architectural style, or self-expression.

Sutton, Tiffany – Journal of Aesthetic Education, 2007
Museums have become a crucible for questions of the role that traditional art and art history should play in contemporary art.

Our research proved that such architecture, while well suited for…
