MICUSP Kibbitzers
These small MICUSP-based research projects provide pedagogically-relevant insights into important features of advanced student academic writing.
The originator of the Kibbitzer pages was Tim Johns (Birmingham University). Each kibbitzer page contains the discussion of a language problem, supported by data from MICUSP.
What are scare-quotes? What kinds of scare-quotes are there? Does their frequency vary across disciplines and levels? This kibbitzer summarizes selected results from a MICUSP-based case study.
