Speech-Writing Bridge Framework
Bridge between thought and writing
The Speech-Writing Bridge Framework proposes that speech acts as a bridge between thought and writing. When writing, individuals are essentially speaking to themselves, and if their rate of thought and writing are not aligned, it can cause problems. This framework highlights the importance of finding a writing method that allows for a smooth transition between thought and writing.
