Broad generalizations about "people today" are a familiar feature
of first-year student writing. How Students Write brings a fresh
perspective to this perennial observation, using corpus linguistics
techniques. This study analyzes sentence-level patterns in student
writing to develop an understanding of how students present
evidence, draw connections between ideas, relate to their readers,
and, ultimately, learn to construct knowledge in their writing.
Drawing on both first-year and upper-level student writing, the
book examines the discourse of students at different points in
their education. It also distinguishes between argumentative and
analytic essays to explore the way school genres and assignments
shape students' choices. In focusing on sentence-level features
such as hedges ("perhaps") and boosters ("definitely"), this study
shows how such rhetorical choices work together to open or close
opportunities for thoughtful exchanges of ideas. Attention to these
features can help instructors foster civil discourse, design
effective assignments, and expose and question norms of higher
education.
