Speaking and Writing


Annotated Research

Question: How do better college writers adjust speaking to writing?

Answer: “Found that better college writers made more adjustments from speaking to writing.” BC Jamieson. 1984. P. 421.

Comment: The more informal the writing, the more the writing is like speaking. Good writers strive for standard English, which removes the characteristics of speaking. RayS.
