Abstract

Writing is fundamental to modern societies and of overarching significance in all our lives: central to our personal experiences, life chances and social identities. Its complex, multifaceted nature, however, is difficult to pin down and as a result, many research approaches have emerged to help clarify both how writing works and the purposes it is employed to achieve. Research, in fact, has taken philosophical, historical, empirical and critical directions and encompassed a wide range of different interpretive and quantitative methods. In this chapter I briefly summarize and evaluate some of these and illustrate a sample study.
