Voice in Writing

Question: Where in formal writing is personal voice inserted?

Answer: “Appositive and parenthetical structures are often used as ways of inserting personal voice into formal academic writing.” AL Palacas. 1989. P. 213.

Comment: Interesting. I still think “voice” in writing is poorly defined—especially, when it is “personal.” Should not be a part of evaluation. RayS.
