Directionality and (certain) opacity from a speech-planning perspective

• Class 13 (Nov. 9 = Thurs. of Week 6)
  • A writing exercise:
    1. Read this Steven Pinker's booklet Why academic writing stinks and how to fix it, which is a condensation of his book The sense of style
    2. Read Griffin 2003, which I thought was a great model for us to aspire to
    3. The scary part: Choose a piece of your own academic writing, preferably not too recent, so you have some perspective on it now. Take a paragraph or so and revise it in light of what you've learned from #1 and #2. Make a handout with the two versions side by side, and plan to take up to 5 minutes to walk us through why you made the changes that you did. (I will do this too.)
