The changing face of Czech academic discourse
Original language description
This chapter studies the changes which the semi-peripheral Czech academic discourse community is undergoing as a result of the tension stemming from the difference between the original Czech and the global academic discourse dominated by the Anglo-American academic discourse conventions. The study analyses citation choices and the use of personal and impersonal structures for establishing authorial presence in a corpus of English-medium research by Czech linguists. The results indicate that Czech scholars try to represent themselves as members not only of the local but also of the global academic discourse community and opt for an increased level of author visibility in an effort to accommodate to the more interactive style of Anglo-American academic writing.
