Paperback. Zustand: Good. For as long as writing has been taught, the subject has always been approached from the perspective of polite society. The central questions were all writer-based: What can, must, ought the writer to do? What cannot, must not, ought not the writer to do? Mistakes were corrected; awkwardness was chastised; bloat was deflated. We were urged to avoid (the passive) and contain (the number of words in a sentence). But far less often were we told how to go about building a sentence; and almost never were we told why all this advice was supposed to work. The whole perspective was wrong: Instead of looking at the writer, we should have been looking at the far more important person where writing is concerned-the reader. George Gopen's radical new take on the language, his Reader Expectation Approach, explains how readers go about the act of reading. If we knew how readers make sense of a text, then we could tell the writers, who in turn could then structure their sentences to control most of the reader's interpretive process. The core of Gopen's new approach, and the reason it is a radical change, is a single discovery: Readers of English know where in the structure of a sentence or a paragraph to look for the arrival of certain kinds of crucial information. What's going on in a sentence? Whose story is it? How does it connect to the sentences that surround it? Which words should be read with the greatest emphasis, because they are the stars of that sentence's show? All of these questions are answered primarily by location: Readers know where in a sentence to look for what. If writers know about these locations, then writers can fill them with the appropriate information and become completely accessible to their readers. Gopen's longer books explain all this in detail; in this volume, he sets out the essences and high points of his discoveries in tweet-length, almost proverb-like distillations.

Paperback or Softback. Zustand: New. The 'New' Science of Scientific Writing: Using Reader Expectations to Transform Scientific Communication. Book.

Paperback. Zustand: New. A practical guide to scientific writing that applies George David Gopen's Reader Expectation Approach to help researchers communicate with greater clarity, precision, and reader impact.For more than three decades, George David Gopen's Reader Expectation Approach (REA) has transformed how scientists, researchers, and professionals write-not by prescribing rules, but by revealing how readers read. REA was first introduced in his highly acclaimed 1990 American Scientist article, "The Science of Scientific Writing," co-authored with Judith A. Swan, which has become the publication's second most viewed online article-approaching 148,000 views since 2017. The framework rests on a deceptively simple insight: Readers of English have unconscious expectations about where in a sentence they will find certain kinds of information. When writers fulfill those expectations, readers can easily interpret the meaning the writer intended. When writers violate reader expectations, even the most accurate science becomes difficult to follow, not because the ideas are complex, but because the prose is working against the reader's natural interpretive process.The New Science of Scientific Writing expands and deepens Gopen's foundational work, drawing on decades of his teaching across research universities, national laboratories, medical schools, law firms, and corporations worldwide. Where other writing guides offer style rules and structural templates, Gopen offers something more fundamental: A cognitive account of how meaning is made. REA was developed independently through observation and practice, and has been corroborated by findings in cognitive psychology, psycholinguistics, and discourse analysis. Its applications extend across every form of scientific communication-from peer-reviewed manuscripts and grant proposals to computer programming, research presentations, and science education. Scientists who learn REA do not merely write more clearly; they think more precisely, because the discipline of structuring prose for a reader's expectations forces a writer to confront exactly what they are communicating will be interpreted.This book arrives at a critical moment for global science communication. With millions of non-native English speakers required to publish in English-language journals, and with research funding increasingly contingent on the clarity of grant proposals, the need for a principled, reader-centered writing framework has never been greater. For scientists whose careers depend on being understood-and whose funding depends on making reviewers believe-this book offers what no style guide can: a principled account of how readers make meaning and a practical method for working with that process rather than against it.…
