A Sociolinguistic Reaction to Heap's "Reading as Cultural Activities: Enabling and Reflective Texts."

Pappas, Christine C.

Curriculum Inquiry, v21 n2 p231-37 Sum 1991

Extends James Heap's sociologically based viewpoint regarding reading as a cultural activity. Focuses on two neglected topics: the relationship of written and oral texts; and intertextuality uses regarding the range of texts encountered in everyday life. Heap's texts have too much autonomy; the reader is just as vital as the text. (13 references) (MLH)
