3. Learning from Learners: A Non-Standard Direct Approach to the Teaching of Writing Skills in EFL in a University Context

- Abstract
Corpora have been used in English as a foreign language materials for decades, and native corpora have been present in the classroom by means of direct approaches such as Data-Driven Learning (Johns, T., and P. King 1991. "'Should you be Persuaded'- Two Samples of Data-Driven Learning Materials." In "Classroom Concordancing," 1-16. Birmingham University. English Language Research Journal 4.). However, the suitability of using learners' output in classroom tasks remains controversial. This paper describes a pilot study in the application of a non-standard direct approach where Spanish university students are invited to reflect on their production. In the experiment, carried out in several sessions during the course, the students were exposed to a selection of erroneous sentences from their compositions. Prior to the classroom activity, the teacher contrasted the learners' sentences with correct versions produced by native English speakers. A relevant part of the methodology consisted in getting learners collectively involved in finding the errors and suggesting improvements. After that, solutions were discussed through the analysis of the alternative sentences provided by the native students. The results show that students are willing to accept this methodology as a supplement to textbooks' proposals. We claim that authentic and highly specific learner data obtained from a reliable ad hoc learner corpus and direct exposure to these data through controlled activities may cover certain learners' needs not found in textbooks.

- Abstract
Corazón tan blanco (1992) is probably one of the best known and awarded novels written by Javier Marías. Many scholars have paid attention to this work within narratology and literary criticism approaches. One of the most notorious features of this thriller is its phraseological repetition. Although repetition has been treated by specialists in the work of Marías (Basso 2002, Grohmann 2002, Florenchie 2003, Steen 2011), to our knowledge, there are no studies to date which have quantified this feature systematically. This contribution is based on corpus stylistic approaches, which focuses on the linguistic features in literary works, using corpus methods. Such treatments can be found in the research of Stubbs (2005), Mahlberg & McIntyre (2011), Mahlberg (2013a). This study focuses on the complexity of phraseological repetition and, particularly, in quantifying sequences of five or more elements, but, at the same time, it analyzes how this it contributes to the creative purposes of Marias., Corazón tan blanco (1992) es una de las novelas más conocidas y laureadas del escritor español Javier Marías. Varios trabajos han prestado atención a esta obra tanto desde la narratología como desde la crítica literaria. Uno de los rasgos más notorios de esta novela de intriga es la repetición fraseológica. Aunque la misma ha sido tratada por especialistas en la obra de Marías (Basso 2002, Grohmann 2002, Florenchie 2003, Steen 2011), no existen, que conozcamos, estudios que lo cuantifiquen sistemáticamente. Esta contribución parte de la estilística de corpus, que prima el tratamiento lingüístico en las obras literarias, empleando métodos de la lingüística de corpus, tales como los hallados Stubbs (2005), Mahlberg & McIntyre (2011), Mahlberg (2013a). Este estudio analiza la complejidad de la repetición fraseológica y cuantifica secuencias de cinco o más elementos, y, a su vez, observa de qué modo dicha repetición contribuye creativamente en la obra de Marías.

Anàlisi del discurs - Abstract
El turismo y la turismofobia se convirtieron en asuntos particularmente noticiables durante el verano de 2017 en la prensa nacional española. Este artículo describe la representación discursiva del turismo en noticias de prensa. Las noticias periodísticas han sido analizadas desde distintos ángulos, tanto por profesionales de la comunicación como por analistas del discurso. Metodológicamente, hemos aplicado la Lingüística de Corpus, adoptando principios del Estudio del Discurso Asistido por Corpus (EDAC), introducido por Partington, el cual ha sido aplicado, entre otros, por analistas críticos del discurso en el estudio del lenguaje de la prensa (véase Baker et al. 2008; Baker et al. 2013). El análisis se complementa a nivel cualitativo aplicando el paradigma de Análisis Discursivo de Valores Noticiosos (ADVN) desarrollado por Bednarek & Caple en varias contribuciones sobre la prensa inglesa. Nuestra hipótesis es que los valores noticiosos no son eventos fuera de noticia, y tampoco son neutrales, como han señalado numerosos autores; sino que los redactores de la noticia los presentan como tales en la construcción discursiva de la misma. El análisis que hemos efectuado revela que los diarios digitales con mayor número de seguidores en España ponen de manifiesto su preferencia por ciertos valores tales como notoriedad o cercanía, junto a énfasis en los valores de impacto, magnitud y negatividad. Discursivamente, el turismo y el turista se construyen como sector económico amenazado. The discursive representation of tourism in press news is the objective of this contribution. Tourism and tourismphobia became particularly newsworthy during the summer of 2017 in the Spanish national press. The news stories have been analysed from different angles, both by communication professionals and discourse analysts. Our intention is to apply the paradigm of Discursive News Values Analysis (DNVA) introduced and applied by Bednarek & Caple in a number of contributions that deal with news stories in the English press. Methodologically, we will apply Corpus Linguistics, adopting the principles of Corpus Assisted Discourse Studies (CADs), introduced by Partington (2006), which has been applied, among other researchers, by critical discourse analysts in the study of the language of the press (see Baker et al., 2008; Baker et al., 2013). Our hypothesis is that news values are not simply news events, nor are they neutral, as many authors have pointed out. These news values exist as such in the discursive construction of the news by journalists. The analysis we have conducted reveals that the digital newspapers with the largest number of followers in Spain show preference for certain news values such as eliteness or proximity, together with an emphasis on impact, magnitude and negativity. Discursively, tourism and tourists are basically constructed as a threatened economic sector.

The aim of this paper is to review and analyse relevant factors related to the implementation of corpus linguistics (CL) in higher education. First we set out to describe underlying principles of CL and its developments in relation to theoretical linguistics and its applications in modern teaching practices. Then we attempt to establish how different types of corpora have contributed to the development of direct and indirect approaches in language teaching. We single out Data Driven Learning (DDL) due to its relevance in applied linguistics literature, and examine in detail advantages and drawbacks. Finally, we outline problems concerning the implementation of CL in the classroom since awareness of the limitations of CL is vital for its future success.

Sentiment analysis ,User reviews ,Lingüistica aplicada - Abstract
The linguistic expression of sentiment, understood as the polarity of an opinion, is known to be domain-specific to a certain extent (Aue & Gamon, 2005; Choi et al., 2009). Even though many words and expressions convey the same evaluation across domains (e.g., “excellent”, “terrible”), many others acquire a more precise semantic orientation within a specific domain. For example, features such as size or location (and the lexical expressions that are used to express them) may or may not convey semantic orientation depending on the topic. In Sentiment Analysis (SA), it is critical that domain-specific expressions of sentiment be accounted for (Tan et al., 2007) if the system is to be useful to those who wish to explore the polarity of texts belonging in that domain. The software tool Lingmotif (Moreno-Ortiz, 2016) will be used to explore a corpus of hotel reviews in the English language. Lingmotif is a lexicon-based, linguistically-motivated, user-friendly, GUI-enabled, multi-platform, Sentiment Analysis desktop application. Lingmotif can perform SA on any type of input texts, regardless of size and topic. The analysis is based on the identification of sentiment-laden words and phrases contained in the application's rich core lexicons, and employs context rules to account for sentiment shifters. It offers easy-to-interpret visual representations of quantitative data (text polarity, sentiment intensity, sentiment profile), as well as a detailed, qualitative analysis of the text in terms of its sentiment. Lingmotif can also take user-provided plugin lexicons in order to account for domain-specific sentiment expression. In this paper, we describe our procedure to identify domain-specific lexical cues for the domain of user reviews of Spanish hotels. We made use of a recently compiled corpus of reviews from the online travel agency booking site booking.com. This corpus was analyzed entirely with Lingmotif using only its core (i.e., general-language lexicon), and then manually analyzed the results to find errors and omissions produced by the lack of specialized language cues. We then encoded the identified lexical cues as a Lingmotif plugin lexicon and reran the analysis with it. This methodology allowed us, first, to obtain a very concrete description of the expression of sentiment in this domain, and, from a practical perspective, to precisely measure to what extent this expression is domain-dependent.

This research takes as its starting point a frequency analysis of the demographicspoken subcorpus of the British National Corpus in order to focus on two aspects of the evolution of spoken core vocabulary in British English. The first is the impact on the core of contact with other languages and, the second, the role of lexical innovation and/or replacement in the history of this core. Our analysis, which, to a certain extent, follows up on that carried out in Fuster (2007) questions the hypothesis that the spoken core is immune to foreign influence or that it is highly resistant to change. pennock@uv.es; fuster@uv.es

- Abstract
Our research focuses on two aspects of the evolution of contemporary spoken core vocabulary in British English based on a frequency analysis carried out using the demographic-spoken section of the spoken subcorpus of the British National Corpus (BNC) which contains 4 million words (the whole BNC contains over 100 words). On the one hand, we examine the impact on the core of contact with other languages and, on the other, lexical innovation throughout the history of the English language. Ours is a quantitative study that uses as its starting point contemporary British core vocabulary. We define core as opposed to non-core by looking exclusively at the frequency of a word as several linguistic studies have proposed. Our analyis, which, to a certain extent, follows up on that carried out in Fuster (2007) questions the hypothesis, in several diachronic studies, that the spoken core is immune to linguistic contact, or that it is quite impermeable to innovation and resists change.

ENGLISH as a foreign language , *READING materials , *TEXTBOOKS , *SECOND language acquisition , *CORPORA - Abstract
The term ‘authenticity’ has been variously interpreted by second language acquisition and ESL scholars. It has been taken to refer to the materials used in class, such as texts, but also to the type of tasks the students are assigned, or even to the type of classroom interaction. Our contribution is concerned with the first of these interpretations. We focus on the authenticity of what are purported to be ‘real’ texts included in textbooks for advanced students of English at B2 and C1 levels, according to the Common European Framework of Reference. This empirical study is based on a series of parameters that have been established in order to examine the extent to which the authenticity of real texts has been preserved and to establish other related changes that such texts are subjected to when included in textbooks.

English language ,PE1-3729 ,English literature ,PR1-9680 - Abstract
Caxton's biographers have considered the prologue to The Recuyell of the Historyes of Troye very valuable in interpreting various events of Caxton's life which would otherwise remain obscure due to the scarcity of documents. The author of this article proposes a more careful approach in reading the statements in The Recuyell, and caution in accepting at face value much of the information contained there. The interpretation given here of several events in the prologue and epilogues of the first English printer, as for instance his birthplace, the dialect of his writings, etc., reveals that Caxton is frequently presenting himself according to the medieval tradition of the humility formula. This formula requires that authors refer to themselves disparagingly. Both prologue and epilogues may contain some truth, but certainly they may not be regarded as examples of unambiguous historical evidence.

El presente trabajo estudia el lenguaje formulaico de las páginas web hoteleras de países de lengua alemana a partir de la identificación y el análisis de paquetes léxicos (lexical bundles). Se trata de una investigación basada en metodología de lingüística de corpus sobre la frecuencia, estructura y funciones de este tipo de secuencias del lenguaje formulaico. Nuestro principal objetivo ha consistido en realizar un inventario de los paquetes léxicos más característicos de estos textos y determinar las variaciones de los mismos, a partir de la identificación de marcos frasales, que hemos puesto en correspondencia. Dicho inventario ha sido objeto de análisis y clasificación siguiendo criterios estructurales y semántico-funcionales, todo ello con el objetivo de su posterior utilidad tanto en la mejora y redacción de este tipo de páginas en alemán por profesionales no nativos, como para la enseñanza del alemán como lengua extranjera especializada en el ámbito del turismo, además de su posible integración en un diccionario especializado. Para el estudio se ha compilado en primer lugar un corpus de páginas web hoteleras de núcleos urbanos de Alemania, Austria y Suiza, siguiendo criterios de equilibrio y representatividad, para poder analizar estos textos en lengua alemana y observar posibles semejanzas y diferencias diatópicas. A continuación se han extraído engramas de entre tres y cinco palabras de forma automática con ayuda de la plataforma Sketch Engine (2021). Los listados obtenidos han sido filtrados, por una parte, con criterios cuantitativos de frecuencia y distribución y, por otra parte, con criterios formales, encaminados a lograr un listado que concordara con los objetivos del trabajo. En una fase posterior y con la finalidad de ordenar los paquetes léxicos por relevancia, se ha calculado su valor mixto, en el que se han valorado tres índices relevantes en la investigación de paquetes léxicos, a saber, el índice de frecuencia, el índice de información mutua y el índice simple maths en la plataforma Sketch Engine, que pone en relación los resultados de nuestro corpus con un corpus de referencia. A continuación hemos procedido a identificar y analizar marcos frasales en estos textos que tuvieran correspondencia con los paquetes léxicos seleccionados. Para ello se ha recurrido a su extracción automática con ayuda del programa KfNgram (Fletcher, 2012), para posteriormente identificar los esquemas subyacentes en dichos paquetes. El análisis de dichos marcos nos ha llevado a identificar el carácter de las palabras fijas y de las casillas variables que determinan su variación interna. Los análisis cuantitativos y cualitativos efectuados de los paquetes seleccionados han puesto de manifiesto que las producciones textuales de páginas web hoteleras en un uso considerado nativo, emplean una serie de combinaciones de palabras recurrentes que les dan un carácter coherente, ajustado a las convenciones de dicho discurso. En lo referente a la exploración realizada de las diferencias diatópicas entre las páginas hoteleres de Alemania, Austria y Suiza, se ha constatado una variación escasa entre las tres regiones germano hablantes, en las que predomina el uso de la lengua alemana considerada estándar. No obstante, se han detectado preferencias entre algunos paquetes en los diferentes subcorpus, y a dichas preferencias nos hemos referido en nuestro análisis y conclusiones. Diese Arbeit untersucht die formelhafte Sprache von Hotelwebseiten im deutschsprachigen Raum durch das Erkennen und die Analyse lexikalischer Bündel. Es handelt sich um eine auf korpuslinguistischem Verfahren basierende Untersuchung zur Häufigkeit, Struktur und Funktion dieser Art von formelhafter Sprache. Das Hauptziel bestand darin, ein Inventar der charakteristischsten lexikalischen Bündel dieser Texte zu erstellen sowie ihre Variationen anhand der entsprechenden Phraseologischen Muster zu bestimmen. Dieses Inventar wurde einer Analyse und Klassifizierung nach strukturellen und semantisch-funktionalen Kriterien unterzogen, mit dem Ziel der späteren Nützlichkeit sowohl für die Verbesserung und das Verfassen dieser Art von Webseiten im Deutschen durch Nicht-Muttersprachler als auch für den Unterricht in Deutsch als Fremdsprache für Tourismus, sowie für eine mögliche Aufnahme in ein Fachwörterbuch. Für die Studie wurde ein Korpus von Hotelwebseiten (KoDeHo) aus Städten in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz nach Kriterien der Ausgewogenheit und Repräsentativität zusammengestellt, um diese Texte in deutscher Sprache zu analysieren und mögliche diatopische Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede festzustellen. Anschließend wurden N-Gramme von drei bis fünf Wörtern automatisch mit Hilfe von Sketch Engine (2021) ermittelt. Die erhaltenen Listen wurden zum einen nach quantitativen Kriterien der Häufigkeit und Streuung und zum anderen nach formalen Kriterien gefiltert, um ein Inventar zu erhalten, das den Zielen der Arbeit entspricht. In einer späteren Phase und mit dem Ziel, die lexikalischen Bündel nach Relevanz zu ordnen, wurde ihr Mischwert berechnet, in dem drei relevante Indizes bei der Erforschung lexikalischer Bündel ausgewertet und zusammengefasst wurden, nämlich der Häufigkeitsindex, der Index der mutual information und der simple maths-Index der Sketch Engine Plattform. Dieser Mischwert kontrastiert die Ergebnisse des KoDeHo mit einem Referenzkorpus gegenüber. Anschließend wurden in diesen Texten phraseologische Muster identifiziert und analysiert, die den ausgewählten lexikalischen Bündeln entsprachen. Zu diesem Zweck wurde auf deren automatische Erhebung mit Hilfe des Programms KfNgram (Fletcher, 2012) zurückgegriffen, um anschließend die zugrunde liegenden Muster in diesen Bündeln zu identifizieren. Die Analyse dieser Muster hat dazu geführt, sowohl die festen Bestandteile als auch die Füller der variablen Slots näher zu charakterisieren. Die an den ausgewählten lexikalischen Bündeln durchgeführten quantitativen und qualitativen Analysen haben gezeigt, dass die Textproduktion von Hotelwebseiten in einer als muttersprachlich angesehenen Verwendung eine Reihe von wiederkehrenden Wortkombinationen verwendet, die ihnen einen kohärenten Charakter verleihen, der den Konventionen eines solchen Diskurses entspricht. Diese Forschungsarbeit hat auch die diatopischen Unterschiede zwischen Hotelwebseiten in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz untersucht. In dieser Hinsicht gibt es kaum Unterschiede zwischen den drei deutschsprachigen Regionen, in denen der Gebrauch der deutschen Sprache, die als Standard gilt, vorherrscht. Es wurden jedoch Präferenzen bezüglich einiger Bündel in den verschiedenen Subkorpora festgestellt, die in der Analyse und in den Schlussfolgerungen erläutert werden.

This thesis investigates Antiguan Creole (AC), including its socio-history and sociolinguistics. Besides, it is concerned with the central strands of research in creolistics: the diachronic that focuses on creole genesis and creole development, and the synchronic that emphasizes the status of creoles as linguistic systems in their own right. The research has been organized in three parts. The first part is preparatory and concerns theoretical and methodological issues. It begins with a review of the literature concerning creole genesis and the creole continuum and examines the hypotheses to be tested. Next, it is concerned with research techniques and presents the fieldwork methods employed. The second part considers the following areas: the language and its context. It outlines the historical circumstances that led to the emergence of AC and then turns to the sociolinguistic situation of present-day Antigua. Subsequently, it offers a phonological and grammatical description of AC. The third part deals with the linguistic analyses that have been applied in order to test the hypotheses. This part provides a linguistic analysis of three linguistic features of AC that have been soundly investigated in other creole languages: palatal gliding after velars, copula system and its variability, and preverbal markers and past-marking by verb inflection. Firstly, to examine palatal gliding, the study begins with a historical account and then offers a synchronic description of the variable use of the palatal/stop glide complex. Secondly, copular and attributive predication is investigated from a historical perspective followed by a synchronic analysis of copula variability in present affirmative contexts. Thirdly, the research looks at the origin of the system encoding tense, mood and aspect and gives a synchronic analysis of the variable use of past inflection. Finally, the thesis is concluded by relating the findings of the previous chapters to issues concerning creole genesis on the one hand, and issues describing the speech community and the validity of the creole continuum model on the other. It is hoped that the present study offers a sound description of AC in order to demonstrate that AC deserves as much linguistic attention as other better known Caribbean creole languages., Esta tesis tiene como objetivos la investigación de la lengua criolla de Antigua (AC), incluida su socio-historia y sociolingüística, así como los principales temas de investigación criollística: el diacrónico, centrado en la génesis de los criollos, y el sincrónico, que se ocupa de la variación lingüística. La investigación, atendiendo a su contenido, se ha estructurado en tres partes. La primera, que hace referencia a cuestiones teóricas y metodológicas, comienza con una revisión de la literatura sobre la génesis de los criollos y el creole continuum y examina las hipótesis que queremos comprobar. A continuación, se presentan las técnicas de investigación y los métodos empleados en la realización de trabajos de campo. La segunda parte profundiza en la lengua y su contexto, se esbozan las circunstancias históricas que condujeron a la aparición del AC y, seguidamente, se examina la situación sociolingüística del AC en la actualidad. Posteriormente, se ofrece una descripción fonológica y gramatical del AC. La tercera parte trata los análisis lingüísticos que se han aplicado con el fin de probar las hipótesis y muestra un análisis de tres características del AC que se han investigado extensamente en otras lenguas criollas: diptongación palatal tras velares, el sistema de cópula y su variación y, finalmente, el sistema pre-verbal y la variabilidad de la flexión verbal en el pasado. En primer lugar, para examinar la diptongación palatal, el estudio comienza analizando su génesis y, a continuación, encontramos una descripción sincrónica del uso variable de diptongación palatal. En segundo lugar, se estudia el sistema copulativo desde una perspectiva histórica y se completa con un análisis sincrónico de su variabilidad en contextos afirmativos. Finalmente, la investigación analiza el origen del sistema pre-verbal y presenta un análisis sincrónico del uso variable de la flexión verbal en el pasado. A modo de conclusión, la tesis establece una relación entre los hallazgos de las tres partes anteriores y las cuestiones relativas a la génesis criolla, por un lado, y a la validez del modelo del creole continuum, por otro. Esperamos que esta tesis ofrezca una descripción formal del AC para demostrar que esta lengua merece tanta atención lingüística como otras lenguas criollas más conocidas del Caribe.

The aim of the investigation is to portray a composite picture of the native andnon-native expert and novice writers' composing and revising processes as they wrotean argumentative essay in English. Analyses of the experienced and novice writers'revision processes served to answer four main questions posed at the beginning of theexperimental study: 1. When did revisions occur during the composing process? 2.Were there any similarities and differences in the categories of revision the subjectsemployed? 3. Were there any similarities and differences in the techniques the subjectsemployed? and 4. Were there any similarities and differences in the purposes of thesubjects' revisions? These questions were also posed to compare the native and nonnativeexpert writers and the native and non-native novice writers.The results indicate that the native and non-native experienced and novicewriters in this study made changes in the first and second writing sessions, in the fourwriting cycles, and in the combinations pre-draft/first draft and between draft/final draft,although they revised to different extends. Both writer groups coincided in theirpreference for the word level over the surface, phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph andglobal levels. The experienced subjects, however, revised at the higher discourse levelsmore often than the novice writers did. No important differences were concludedbetween both writer types in the techniques used for revising. Per purposes of revision,both the expert and novice writers revised with an informational purpose in mind,although they differed in their preference for the rest of purposes of revision: while theexpert writers made higher proportions of meaning revisions, the novice showed atendency for formal changes. Further comparisons indicate there were also similaritiesbetween both types of writers: the unskilled writers in this study were also aware of theneed for making content revisions. Indeed, they made some attempts at improvingmeaning through sentence, paragraph and global revisions, although they failed toachieve success.The native and non-native experienced subjects coincided in their preference forthe word level across drafts and writing sessions. The rest of the levels occurred indescending order as the discourse level ascended from the word to the global level.Global changes were often avoided as they needed more cognitive effort. They alsoshowed interest for the surface level, although they seemed to have the cognitive abilityto manage form and content at the same time. Additions and substitutions ofinformation prevailed over the rest, since the writers hardly ever deleted to start again.Despite the similarities between the native and non-native expert writers, furthercomparisons reveal that the native expert subject showed more concern with meaning,while the non-native were worried about grammatical correctness, which may be due tothe greater emphasis that they receive in L2 writing classes. Also, the subjects displayeddifferent revision patterns, which supports the belief that there is no single revisionpattern resulting in successful prose.The native novice subjects made higher percentages of final version revisions,while the non-native were more inclined to making premature revisions, coupled withlarge numbers of revisions in an attempt to reduce the cognitive load that revisingentailed on their minds. The pre-draft, between-draft and the combinations of draftswere virtually of no importance and, thus, the writers did not go back and forth betweentheir essays and outlines to add changes or to check how well the drafts matched theiroutlines. Yet, both writer types redirected their attention to meaning towards the lateststages of writing and, therefore, they were not insensitive to revision at the higherdiscourse levels, contrary to the beliefs commonly held for novice writers., El objetivo de esta investigación es describir los procesos de escritura yaprendizaje de escritores nativos y no nativos expertos e inexpertos mientras escribíanun texto argumentativo en inglés. El análisis de los procesos de revisión de losescritores experimentados y menos experimentados sirven como punto de partida paracontestar cuatro preguntas principales: 1. ¿Cuándo se dan las revisiones en el proceso deescritura? 2. ¿Hay similitudes y diferencias en las categorías de revisión que losparticipantes usaron? 3. ¿Hay similitudes y diferencias en las técnicas que losparticipantes emplearon? 4. ¿Hay similitudes y diferencias en los propósitos de lasrevisiones de los participantes? Estas mismas preguntas se plantearon para observar lassimilitudes y diferencias entre los escritores experimentados nativos y no nativos y entrelos escritores no experimentados nativos y no nativos de inglés.Los resultados indican que los escritores expertos y no expertos nativos y nonativos de este estudio hicieron cambios en las dos sesiones de escritura, en los cuatrociclos de escritura, así como en las combinaciones guion/primer borrador y borradorintermedio/borrador final aunque revisaron en diferente medida. Los escritoresexperimentados, sin embargo, revisaron a niveles discusivos más altos con másfrecuencia que los menos experimentados, aunque los menos expertos no soncompletamente inconscientes de la necesidad de hacer revisiones de significado.Los escritores experimentados y menos experimentados nativos y no nativoscoincidieron en su preferencia por la revisión a nivel de la palabra en todos losborradores y sesiones de escritura. No hicieron cambios que afectaran la estructuraglobal del texto puesto que implicaban un mayor esfuerzo cognitivo. A pesar de lassimilitudes los escritores expertos nativos mostraron un mayor interés por elsignificado, mientras los no nativos se preocuparon de la corrección gramatical de sustextos.Los escritores nativos no expertos hicieron un mayor número de revisiones en elborrador final que los no nativos menos experimentados, mientras éstos revisaron enfases demasiado avanzadas del proceso de escritura además de hacer un gran número deellas en un intento de reducir la carga cognitiva que revisar imponía en sus mentes.Ambos se centraron en la comunicación de significado en las fases finales de escritura.
