English academic discourse: Challenging norms and changing conventions for experts and novice writers
Original language description
This talk addresses the distinctive features of English academic discourse and compares it to Central European academic literacies. It draws on the findings of several corpus-based cross-cultural studies exploring English-medium academic discourse to discuss and illustrate differences between the ways in which Anglophone and Central European scholars strive to enhance the persuasiveness of their discourse by conveying authorial presence, creating cohesive links and using citations when writing academic texts. It also considers the challenges that novice non-native writers face as part of their secondary socialization in the academic discourse community. The talk suggests that intercultural variation could be seen as enriching rather than restraining international English-medium academic communication.
