Example
Kelly, L. P. (1987). The influence of syntactic anomalies on the writing processes of a Deaf college student. In A. Matsuhashi (Ed.), Writing in real time: Modeling production processes (pp. 161-196). Norwood, NJ: Ablex Publishing Corporation.
Summary: Looking at other research, Kelly has determined that deaf writers are more concerned with global errors than local. Also, evidence shows that deaf readers might rely more on semantics instead of syntactics for understanding. Do concerns about syntactic anomalies affect a deaf writer during composition? The writer in this case study had fewer pauses in composing than would be expected of the average hearing writer. Kelly suggests that deaf writers’ lack of concern over errors might actually benefit them in part of the writing process because the flow of getting ideas to paper is not interrupted by continuous editing of local errors. This was a case study of one individual who was prelingually deaf and whose first language is sign language.
How I Might Use This: I would use this in my paper for the side that says Deaf students should receive specialized instruction instead of being forced to follow a traditional format in a public school.
