Extract

This essay discusses some of the contrasts which can be drawn between written discourse in English and the forms of written language discourse associated with members of American Indian speech communities. I word my reference to the second member of this pairing very cautiously. If contrasts of this sort are to be made with standard English discourse as used outside those communities, then several “Indian-related” discourse forms need to be considered.
