Πολυπαραγοντική ανάλυση της ακαδημαϊκής γραφής σπουδαστών της μουσουλμανικής μειονότητας της Θράκης

Περίληψη

This study draws on a multidimensional analysis of academic writing in Modern Greek as a second language. It examines (a) lexicogrammatical and discourse measures, and (b) deviations from the academic register as predictors of writing quality in 100 persuasive essays produced by adult Turkish- and Pomak-speaking students in Thrace. The research proceeded in 4 steps: (1) assessment of writing quality, (2) digitalization, (3) data analysis in terms of linguistic measures and errors, and (4) statistics. The regression models constructed revealed that after controlling for length, grammatical complexity, deviations in microlinguistic level, discourse markers and textual deviations share an almost equal contribution in predicting writing quality.
