Personal pronouns and writer identity as a type of communication strategy in academic texts

Original language description

This paper explores the concept of so called author identity as a type of communication strategy in written academic texts (research articles) that are traditionally regarded as impersonal and non-interactive texts. I claim that interaction in written texts can be viewed as a multi-faceted phenomenon. Author identity is investigated through the use of personal pronouns: I aim to reveal how first-person singular pronouns in particular may help writers establish their relationship with prospective readersas well as the particular academic discourse community. First-person singular pronouns are investigated both quantitatively in frequency analysis and qualitatively with respect to discourse functions they perform in research articles. A comparative insight of the paper, which lies in comparing research articles in economics and linguistics, reflects cross-disciplinary variation in the use of first-person singular pronouns.
