Vanderburg, Willem H. – Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society, 2007

Kemper, Susan – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1982
Describes two experiments where readers were asked to restore missing actions and physical and mental states to short narratives.

This article represents a poststructuralist critique and review of the role of empathy in the therapeutic relationship. Incorporating Foucauldian contributions, we seek to expand upon the largely liberal-humanistic descriptions about the nature of empathy, which in our view fail to acknowledge fully the impact of culture in the therapy arena. In…

Although current theories concerning the composing process overlap in useful and interesting ways, a paradigm is emerging.

This paper is directed toward a traditional problem in the analysis of texts, that of finding meaningful linguistic units that are larger than a sentence and smaller than the text itself. Two principles are given for finding extended temporal structures based on the temporal expressions that occur in sentences: a sentence can be captured to form…
