words-in-context or WICs (intersection of genre, register, & inflection) aim low! find the “hierarchy of lower-level structures...[that] specify the actual array of subcases and specific instances that support and give rise to the higher-level generalization” RWL, Concept, Image, & Symbol, 1991:281-282 Thank you. sally.rice@ualberta.ca john.newman@ualberta.ca
