Chapter 19 Longitudinal Studies of the Effects of New Technologies on Writing: Two Case Studies.
Abstract:
Writing and Cognition describes new and diverse work, both by field leaders and by newer researchers, exploring the complex relationships between language, the mind and the environments in which writers work. Chapters range in focus from a detailed analysis of single-word production to the writing of whole texts.
