1. Domain here means a bundle of similar contexts for language behavior, within institutionalized frameworks as well as with typical settings, roles, norms, tasks, illocutions, themes, and varieties. Adamzik, Antos, and Jakobs (1997) provide an overview of domain-specific writing; an operative summary is offered, for example, in Lehnen and Schindler (2003).
2. A reduction of the analytical content to the propositional content (cf. Perrin 2001, 18ff) is one possibility for analyzing verbal protocols. It creates categorizable answers to the question of what the individuals under investigation are talking about and includes an interpretation of metaphors, something that Schmitt (2003) addresses. If the analysis should include how the individuals talk about their writing, then more complex discourse analytical techniques must be used, building on ethno methodological principles.
