- W3178461 abstract "In recent years, composition teachers and scholars have increas ingly turned their attention toward audience analysis and its role in the composing process. One need only review Lisa Ede's Audience: An Introduction to Research or Barry Kroll's Writing for Readers: Three Perspectives on to see the vast assortment of cur rent theories concerned with audience and how to help students achieve a sense of audience in their writing. I'm sure most of us would agree that writers who recognize the need to analyze their audiences stand a greater chance of producing suitable prose. Yet, audience considerations alone are not enough to guarantee a document's effectiveness. Writers must also consider contextual and conventional and the interplay between audience and convention. As teachers and researchers, we, too, must discover how best to use the interplay between audience and convention to teach students to write effectively and appropriately. According to Frank Smith, a writing convention is expected way of doing something that is accepted by all parties concerned, an implicit (59). Register, he says, refers to the different ways of using language (78). A conventional register, then, refers to an accepted, imposed, or expected way of writing that is shared by both writer and reader, without which understanding is restricted or lost. Douglas Park refers to conventions as givens about readers' attitudes and knowledge (252). Audience analysis, he says, is a matter of identifying the givens implicit in a piece of writing and evaluating the relationship between these givens and the contexts more explicitly defined within the discourse itself. Steven Mailloux further divides conventions into three categories relevant to human action: 1) traditional conventions that recognize regularities in action and belief; 2) regulative conventions that regulate action; and 3) constitutive conventions that determine meaning (126-27). These scholars suggest that teachers of writing must pay more attention to conventions as they relate to audience because audience considera tions do not sufficiently explain the writer-reader relationship. In order to examine the role of conventional register in writing, I selected articles from two general readership magazines: Newsweek and Harper's. Both articles deal with the subject of AIDS. I chose this particular topic because 1) there is widespread interest in it (that is, it attracts a large and varied audience of interested readers); and 2) there is an abundance of available information about it, much of it" @default.
