Writing, Jargon, and Research.

Green, David W.

Written Communication, v3 n3 p364-81 Jul 1986

Outlines two hypotheses about the reasons for obscurity in expository writing and notes that neither accounts for the general results of an exploratory study of the writing of postgraduates nor for the individual cases presented. Argues that a crucial factor is a person's implicit model of expository writing. (FL)
