The investigator hypothesizes that literacy, and in                        particular the process of learning to write, may fruitfully be                  viewed as a cultural behavior, and that analysis of the process                 from this perspective will be complementary to the more usual                   analysis of the psycholinguistic skills involved.  In order to                  prepare a full-scale proposal for research on this topic, she                   requests a planning grant which will enable her to visit public                 school students of a variety of cultural backgrounds in Alaskan                 village settings.  She will also consult with several recognized                experts on spoken and written language, language acquisition, and               literacy.
