I'm a bit hesitant to suggest this, because I'm not sure it's what you're looking for, Leslie, but back in the dark ages I wrote an essay for an anthology aimed at undergraduates, called _Speaking of Words: A Language Reader_, called "The Language of Print and the Language of Talk." I think it's about voice. I thought of it because a while ago I ran across the book and got the piece scanned in for my Web site. http://www.stu.ca/~hunt/langprnt.htm (You can tell it was the dark ages because it was before I recognized the gender implications of personal pronoun reference: the number of "he"s in it make me wince, now. That alone might make it unusable). -- Russ St. Thomas University http://www.stu.ca/~hunt/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- To leave the list, send a SIGNOFF CASLL command to [log in to unmask] or, if you experience difficulties, write to Russ Hunt at [log in to unmask] For the list archives and information about the organization, its newsletter, and the annual conference, go to http://www.stu.ca/inkshed/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
