Summary:
"Talk, Tools, and Texts explores how writers and writing grows and changes through the lifespan, drawing on relevant research in literacy, education, writing studies, sociology, psychology, and ethnomethodology. It makes a case for the value of lifespan writing research; provides a logic-in-use for examining literate action at different points in the lifespan so that the material, situated work of literate action development can be identified and traced; and applies this logic to the study of eleven writers at different points in the lifespan. This logic is then proposed as a foundational infrastructure for building coherent middle-range theories of lifespan literate action development, and to provide new insight into research on writing transfer and writing development"-- Provided by publisher.
