{"title":"Understanding I: The Rhetorical Variety of Self-References in College Literature Papers","authors":"L. Beerits","doi":"10.15781/T2610VT2B","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15781/T2610VT2B","url":null,"abstract":"It seems only fair to start with my own first-person admission: I am personally, pedagogically, and professionally interested in how students do and do not write about themselves in their academic papers. And as a composition instructor, I have seen that students, too, are deeply concerned with understanding the \"rules\" for academic writing, particularly around the use of the pronoun I. Their confusion is understandable: high school teachers, college professors, and writing handbook authors-all wrestling with how best to train students to becomes successful writers in and outside of the classroom-sometimes offer conflicting guidelines and advice. Some contend that first-person pronouns make a text more readable or better highlight a writer's own contributions, while others caution that first-person references are overly informal or subjective.1Scholars, though, consistently use first-person pronouns in their own writing-though this, too, is not uncomplicated. In a survey of 240 scholarly articles from well-regarded journals across a variety of academic fields, linguist Ken Hyland found that every article in the sample contained \"at least one first person reference,\" with scholars in the humanities and social sciences self-referencing particularly frequently (\"Humble Servants\" 212).2 Despite this evidence that scholars commonly use first-person pronouns, Hyland believes this practice is still at odds with traditional academic attitudes. He observes that impersonality in writing is often \"institutionally sanctified\" as a signal of disciplinary mastery, yet it is also \"constantly transgressed\" in our scholarship (209). Because of this contradiction, Hyland argues that gauging where and when self-referencing is appropriate \"remains a perennial problem for students, teachers, and experienced writers alike\" (208).What becomes clear from this conflict is that we have historically and ideologically conflated first-person pronoun use with more informal, personal writing. But is this conflation warranted? To examine this, I argue that we must carefully refine what we mean by \"personal\" and \"academic\" writing. For although we have spent decades discussing the appropriateness and utility of these two writing styles (often as iterations of the seminal Bartholomae/ Elbow Debate, and, more recently, in productive explorations of alternative discourses and widened disciplinary conventions), we still largely intuit our own definitions of each kind of writing.3 And too often, these definitions are used to create a good-versus-bad, academic-versus-personal binary that student writing-and our own-simply does not follow. What makes writing academic? What makes writing personal? Can writing be both academic and personal? And, most relevant to the current study, does the use of first-person pronouns necessarily signal or encourage personal writing?Individual instructors will always, of course, have different preferences around first-person pronoun use; some will welcom","PeriodicalId":47107,"journal":{"name":"COLLEGE COMPOSITION AND COMMUNICATION","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67096681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Offering historical and pedagogical perspectives on language awareness and language diversity, the essays reveal the nationalism implicit in the concept of a standard English, advocate alternative training and teaching practices for instructors at all levels, and promote the respect and importance of the country s diverse dialects, languages, and literatures.
