25. RST mapping www.sil.org/~mannb/rst/ RST links are rhetorical devices . Bill Mann’s Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST) uses various sorts of &quot;building blocks&quot; to describe texts. The principal block type deals with &quot;nuclearity&quot; and &quot;relations&quot; (often called coherence relations in the linguistic literature.)

61. Information structures: The essential deep foundation of concept mapping Abstract ideals vs. do-able realities Selected domain for this paper: mapping/concept mapping/argument mapping Concept mapping and concept mapping software have taken solid hold in many realms of education in many countries, primarily for use in representing learner and instructor perceptions of the interrelations between concepts. However, it is not so easy to design effective and motivating mapping tasks, or to choose the appropriate type of mapping for a task/project/curriculum. This paper sets out a set of conceptual tools for the witting use of mapping in curriculum and materials design. These central questions are addressed: (1) Which kind of mapping to use for different instructional purposes; (2) When to do mapping electronically and when by hand; and (3) How to create curriculum and materials that go beyond &quot;I do mapping in my class&quot; to lead the learner to the use of the specific language forms and patterns appropriate to each type of information. This paper identifies mapping types and information structures underlying the witting use of maps: rhetorical structure, text structure, paragraph structure and sentence structure. Without incorporating these structures in the framing of task design, the instructor/designer will not be able to control the form of learner output. This is followed by an analysis of the information-related character of two salient styles of mapping: (1) Novakian mapping, which is the most commonly used mapping in science education today; and (2) Hunter's infostructure mapping, which is a very limited (and thus effective) mapping style for second language learning technical-oriented tasks. The conclusion includes a description of four types of task constraint which the author has developed for mapping in the teaching of entry and upper advanced EFL technical writing. These constraint types, which reduce to easily manageable task design elements, are: map size; allowable links; rhetorical devices; and degree of abstraction.
