Prior: Authorship

“Understanding how people represent the process and authorship and understanding how a text Is actually produced in practice are related but distinct issues,” (171).

Authorship: Prior

“Goffman (1981) analyzed the everyday notion of the speaker/writer, suggesting that three roles are typically collapsed within that term: the animator, who actually utters/inscribes the words; the author, who selects the sentiments and words; and the principal, whose positions are being represented in the words..This simple division suggests that tracing the writing process also means tracing a structure of participation, of examining who is involved in making the text and in what ways,” (170).
