1953W. L. Taylor in Journalism Q. XXX. 416/1 Cloze procedure may be defined as: A method of intercepting a message from a ‘transmitter’ (writer or speaker), mutilating its language patterns by deleting parts, and so administering it to ‘receivers’ (readers or listeners) that their attempts to make the patterns whole again potentially yield a considerable number of cloze units. 1954Application of ‘Cloze’ & Entropy Measures 113 Attached behind this page is a Foreword for your use in conducting the cloze test. 1964E.
