Studying Writers’ Revising Patterns with S-Notation Analysis

摘要: This chapter describes a computer-based technique for analysing revision and text production strategies, called S-notation. On the basis of keystroke record, representation is created all revisions made to during writing session, including their order internal structure. The resulting embedded in an interactive program, which enables both qualitative quantitative analyses session. tools described also support automatic identification connected episodes revision, are relevant study individual task-specific strategies. We present methodological theoretical rationale behind development method, basic principles creation Subsequently, we describe how can be used answer particular research questions, discussion limitations purely formal treatment revision. A multi-level framework outlined gain knowledge processes using different kinds data. Finally, summarize studies by ourselves as well other researchers S-notation analysis.
