Cursive/Printing Ideology

[Donald Carroll]

Dear all,

While I don't have anything directly related to the issue of cursive vs.
print in English, the following article sheads some interesting light on
how minor variations in writing styles can be used to establish identity
within a group.

Kataoka, Juniyokshi.  1997.  Affect and letter-writing:  Unconvential
conventions in casual writing by young Japanese women.  Language in Society
26, 103-136.
