Rhetorical abstraction as a facet of expected response: A structural equation modeling analysis.

摘要

Researchers have attempted to identify textual features which determine holistic evaluations of texts. However, most studies have involved evaluations of L;This project involved the application of quantitative analyses of L;The application of structural equation modeling (SEM) provided statistical descriptions of the relative salience of textual features. The value of this study lies partially in the fact that this is the first application of SEM in an investigation of the relative salience of textual features. The study also represents a methodological advance in multidimensional textual analysis.;A total of 391 essays written by L;Results indicate that some aspects of rhetorical abstraction are significant features of L
