	Bedford/St. Martin's - The Bedford Bibliography
		Professional writing courses began around 1900 as attempts to meet the need for instruction beyond freshman composition and to respond to vocational and professional pressures on the university.
		Their writing is correct, wordy (repetitive and inflated), heavily nominalized, impersonal, unrealistically ambitious, overly generalized, and without much sense of audience.
		Programs of study in writing would position the first-year course as introductory to the intellectual study of writing, a move that would help to expand the forum for negotiating differences in the theories and agendas that currently divide the field.

	Treating Professional Writing as Social Praxis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		By reducing thinking and writing to the technology of information processing, the cognitivists reproduce the political economy of the information society and model the human mind on the machine that is the paradigm for that economy: the computer.
		When professional communications are studied and taught as a social practice, then the literacy we teach will become not just the ability to read and write professional documents but the ability to question and act on shared problems through language.
		The goal of the humanistic teacher of professional communications should be to focus students’ attention on the basic problems that constitute a specific discourse community, and we should encourage students to explore how those central problematic issues are reflected in the theoretical assumptions, technical methods, and social practices of that community.

	The Intracies of Professional Writing
		When writing a normal passage, there is not usually a defined target group that you are writing for.
		However, when writing a piece of professional literature, you do have a target audience that already has at least a basic knowledge of the subject matter, so you are more free to go in depth about your subject.
		If your writings are aimed at a distinct audience, use short, concise statements, and make good use of charts, diagrams and bullets, you are probably utilizing professional writing, or a hybrid between professional and basic writing.
