The Use of Author Reference Pronouns in Academic ELF

Original language description

This contribution investigates the use of authorial voice in the academic writing in the SciELFcorpus, which is a corpus of second-language use in written scientific communication. By the use of corpus based method, it investigates the frequency of the use of various ways the authors used to express their presence in natural science as well as social science articles written by academics from different cultural backgrounds for the international audience of the global environment. The results are cross-referenced with a contrastive corpus of research articles written by Anglophone writers and published in high impact journals in their respective fields. The presented paper draws on the theoretical framework for the study of authorial voice, metadiscourse (Hyland, 2005), evaluation (Hunston and Thompson, 1999), appraisal (Martin and White, 2005), and stance (Biber et al, 1999) and research within the ELF framework as represented by Jenkins (2007), Seidlhofer (2011), and Mauranen (2012). Within the research, the focus of this study was to establish the general trends in the use of the authorial voice inELF and to investigate the range of the variety of its usage as the means of expressing the authorial presence. The study compares the results with a contrastive corpus with the aim to identify any specific ways the authorial voice is expressed in SciELF and it is contrasted to the usage in research articles published in high impact journals.
