ESSE Torino 2010
This page collects the long abstracts from the Seminar 70 organised for ESSE 2010 in Torino by Josef Schmied & Marina Bondi
Empirical Approaches to Discipline, Culture and Identity in Academic Discourse
The seminar explores new empirical approaches to academic discourse and its variation according to discipline, culture and identity. Attention will be paid to the ways different discourse identities are formed linguistically in accordance with the illocutionary intent of the speakers/writers, the relation among participants, the object of study, the disciplinary traditions, etc. The comparison of linguistic features signaling hedging, cohesion or different types of complexity across varieties (native vs. non-native), genres (research articles, conference presentations, etc.) and disciplines should offer interesting perspectives in lexico-grammatical and textual analysis from different empirical approaches.
