Linguistic & Textual form

Description and other notes

Consists of standalone chapters that are of publishable quality, as well as an introduction and literature review. No conclusion, at least not in any typical or rhetorical way that I can see. Instead, the last chapter is the ‘Data Review,’ which has the express purpose of sharing raw data and coding schemes. Chapters are also organized in a modified IMRD format that would be consistent with a traditional complex macrostructure if it weren’t for the inclusion of publishable material. Unconventional format for department.

(Proposed) Degree of separation or connection between atypical or unconventional component(s) and conventional or written component(s)

Connected. Atypical or unconventional component(s) positioned as critical or inextricable. For instance, in this case, it would be very difficult to separate the manuscripts from the dissertation, or published material from the chapter(s) in which it is integrated without the dissertation falling apart.

(Proposed) Type of relationship construed between atypical or unconventional component(s) and conventional or written component(s)

Intermingled. There is a sense of interdependence between the atypical or unconventional and written or conventional component(s) and a distinct understanding that they are a part of the same project.
