Why choose this project topic?
An examination of how cohesive devices support or obscure progression in student arguments produces a manageable language question with observable evidence. It lets you connect English-language concepts to particular communicative choices instead of making unsupported judgments about speakers.
What patterns emerge in how cohesive devices support or obscure progression in student arguments within consented anonymised English essays written to one comparable prompt?
Choose the corpus size, sampling period and annotation framework for how cohesive devices support or obscure progression in student arguments; confirm access before fixing the title.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Identify the linguistic forms involved in how cohesive devices support or obscure progression in student arguments.
- 02Compile a documented and ethically accessible dataset from consented anonymised English essays written to one comparable prompt.
- 03Trace reference chains and conjunction functions, then compare them with paragraph-level claims.
A suggested research approach
Agree access and selection criteria for consented anonymised English essays written to one comparable prompt. Trace reference chains and conjunction functions, then compare them with paragraph-level claims. Pilot the annotation scheme, retain examples that challenge initial categories and report disagreements. Obtain institutional approval and informed consent before collecting participant data.
What you will need
- Permitted access to consented anonymised English essays written to one comparable prompt
- An annotation guide covering how cohesive devices support or obscure progression in student arguments
- A secure anonymisation procedure and any required ethics approval
