What could you do with these ideas? - Think of some additional examples of works at different levels of the “scale of linguistic integration” and write up a little review/report - Write your own passage or excerpt or chapter or story, specifically striving to exemplify one of the levels - Consider some other genre (eg, romance, mystery, fantasy, etc) and come up with your own classification system for any idiosyncratic usage you can identify in it - Something else?
