![]() These essays were written by 56 Swedish university students studying English as a second language at three different educational levels. In the present study, with the aim of analyzing the relationship among teacher feedback, feedforward, and grade, the corrections and comments made by four experienced assessors on 187 compositions were under scrutiny. Keywords: conference type, expectations, interpreting, quality, users Analysis of open-ended questions revealed that while the Translation conference users attached high importance to the linguistic criteria with a focus on interpreter’s role and contribution, the users at other conferences considered extra-linguistic aspects in conference interpreting as important. Their rating was followed by the attributions of users in “Science”, “Technology”, “Tourism”, and “Management” conferences respectively, in terms of quality expectations. The users of the “Translation” conference rated most of the quality criteria higher than the users of the other conferences and had higher expectations. The findings from the scale analysis indicated that users’ expectations of the quality vary in different conferences. Users also answered five openended questions adopted from Moser (1995). Five conferences were selected for the purpose of data collection and 256 users rated eleven quality criteria of sense-consistency with the original message, logical cohesion, native accent, lively intonation, style, synchronicity, correct terminology, correct grammar, fluency of delivery, completeness of message, and pleasant voice on a four-point ordinal scale adapted from Zwischenberger and Pöchhacker (2010). This paper presents a detailed report of the users’ quality expectations and the extent to which the expectations vary based on the type of conferences in Malaysian conference interpreting setting using a questionnaire-based survey study. Keywords: Metacriticism, Structuralism, Deconstruction, Narratology, Embedded Texts. After rejecting the authority of religion and history as reliable sources of truth, she proposes other possibilities of interpretation that seem more realistic and more personal. ![]() Next, I focus on Winterson’s narrative and her intriguing use of embedded texts that function as interpretative riffs of the deconstructed religious texts. I will show how Winterson uses her narrative to deconstruct religious beliefs and stories in order to open new possibilities of interpretations to replace these religious references. First I present Winterson’s treatment of religious texts, both Biblical and Quranic, in a manner that simulates Deconstructive critics when they interpret literary texts. In this paper I intend to present Winterson as a creative metacritic of Deconstruction in her controversial novel Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit (1985). One intriguing writer who addresses theory in her fiction is the British novelist Jeanette Winterson. Abstract The last few decades have witnessed an interesting new dimension in creative writing as a number of novelists have addressed literary theory in their literary texts, thus acting as creative metacritics. ![]()
