Herb makes a good suggestion.

By the way, Geoff, a book or a few articles dealing with "writing in
the context of grammar" might be a good antidote to Weaver's very widely
known work. I find among our graduate composition and rhetoric students
that if there's anything they know about grammar it's Weaver.  There's a
need for a good, strong antidote. 

**************
I humbly suggest an article that examines the context of student
innovations and proposes that sentence level grammar categories are
inadequate to describe what students are actually doing in their
handling of information in the texts they construct.

For example, we propose that the run-on that Craig presented, from the
student perspective, is purposeful.  

Kenkel, J. & Yates, R. (2003).  A developmental perspective on the
relationship between grammar and text.  Journal of Basic Writing, 22(1),
 35-49.

We have a paper under review that broadens this claim to both native
and non-native speaker developmental writing.
