Abstract
The production and consumption of handbooks for MTS and for FS have remained distinct, characterized by two different theoretical traditions. This divide has never been based upon the systematic contrastive and comparative analysis of the two types of handbooks, but purely on abstract histories of ‘method’ and origins. This work features the analysis of the prefaces and contents of six handbooks—three addressed to MTS and three to FS—covering the periods 1880–1920, 1920–1960, 1960–1990) to see whether similarities between the two text-types exist. The results of the analyses disclose interesting similarities, suggesting the need to further pursue this innovative line of researchFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
