Linking Adverbials in Academic Discourse: A corpus-based Analysis of Student Writing and Published English

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Recent corpus-based studies on academic language have revealed significant differences between student academic writing (both English L1 and L2) and the language of academic papers written by professionals, especially as far as frequency and distribution of various (groups of) connectors is concerned (e.g., Granger and Tyson 1996, Bolton, Nelson and Hung 2002, Shaw 2009). This paper investigates the use of adversative and additive linking adverbials in (1) students’ theses on linguistics and translation studies (Czech L1 students of English Philology), and in (2) professional articles published in linguistic journals. In line with the previous findings about English L2 academic writing, a higher frequency of these types of linking adverbials in students’ academic prose than in texts by professionals is expected, especially in sentence-initial position.
