The Voices of History framework outlined in Coffin (2006, 150-151) offers a powerful set of tools for illuminating how authors of historical texts take up different evaluative postures, or "voices" in various history genres (see also Coffin 2000, 381 399).
A tentative hypothesis would be that the presence of other voices and evaluative characteristics of inner speech are likely to have strong developmental roots, both based on their theoretical origin (Fernyhough, 2004) and links between early adversity and later hallucination proneness (Bentall, Wickham, Shevlin, & Varese, 2012).
As the following discussion shows, Surveyor Voice is a key evaluative persona of history textbooks, which are sometimes aptly referred to as surveys in titles such as A Concise Survey of Western Civilization (Pavlac 2011).
In other words, they attribute their (the panel's) evaluative accent to the surgeon's voice, introducing 'attributional distance' [ 46] between themselves and their decision not to fund.
Moreover, at the same time as panel members give the word a new evaluative accent, they appropriate the surgeon's voice, saying " The consultant has also mentioned in his letter that it is cosmetic", and "If the consultant says that this is cosmetic… then we must decline to fund…".
As Affect was found to be far more common than Judgment in Myskow's (2015) corpus, neither of the Appraiser voices adequately capture the most salient evaluative features of history textbooks.
"Individuals need evaluative information about others to evaluate themselves".
Clearly it is important to continue the process of self-reflection, taking in the voices of our learners with more formal, systematic evaluative methods.
Consistent with prior findings (McCarthy-Jones & Fernyhough, 2011), the four VISQ subscales showed good reliability and specific relationships with proneness to auditory hallucinations; dialogic and evaluative characteristics of inner speech and the presence of other voices in inner speech positively correlated with AH-proneness.
A representative number of mixtures for evaluative purposes was constructed.
