This book presents a collection of thematically focused articles
addressing culture-specific features of academic communication,
with a particular focus on communication conducted in English as an
Additional Language and directed at multicultural audiences. It
comprises papers arranged in four sections: Expert writers, Novice
writers and readers, Conference participants, and Non-research
academic genres. The book explicitly addresses and is centred upon
the concept of a research niche understood as a space to be
captured and populated, as a temporary location to move or grow out
of in the course of individual professional development from novice
to expert, and as a space to consciously reach beyond, delimited by
one's linguistic, cultural, educational, and geopolitical
background. Here the niche is approached as a frame of reference
for discussion of what is culture-bound, culture-sensitive, and
culture-free in the academic community and its practices.
