Processes in Literary Writing: an Interdisciplinary Approach

EasyChair Preprint 6151

Abstract

This PhD research project explores writing processes in literary text production by dint of an interdisciplinary, psycholinguistic and text genetic approach. Using keystroke logging tools, we conducted a case study of apprentice and professional writers working on a literary text. Quantitative variables were assessed and analysed in the context of the text’s evolution at a micro-genetic and macro-genetic level. Results suggest that revision and creative processes are central to literary writing.

Keyphrases: case study, critique genetique, genetic criticism, interdisciplinary research, literary writing, writing processes
