English Grammar- A Resource Book for Students
Questions, suggestions and issues to consider
1. How do the findings fit in with what was said in A12 about the use of and for coordination in spoken English? 2. The authors do not discuss whether ellipsis was present in their data. How might this have affected their findings? 3. Do you think the evidence from personal pronouns and coordinating conjunc- tions is enough to prove that CMC is different from other forms of writing? What other linguistic forms could be investigated to provide further evidence? 4. Look at some emails or other forms of CMC that you receive in English. How far do they correspond to informal speech or formal writing? What features are prominent, for example, ellipsis? 5. Is there any variation between or within the different types of CMC that you write and receive? What factors are involved in differences? For example, do you write differently when addressing friends, or parents, or teachers? And are there differences in what they write to you? SOURCES OF TEXTS USED Christie, Agatha. 1972.
