Academic texts present subject-specific ideas within a
subject-independent framework. This book accounts for the presence
of academic words in academic writing by exploring recurring
patterns of function in texts representing different subject areas.
The book presents a framework which describes academic word use at
the ideational, textual and interpersonal levels. Functional
categories are presented and illustrated which explain the role of
academic words alongside general purpose and technical terms. The
author examines biomedical research articles, and journal articles
from arts, commerce and law. A comparable analysis focuses on
university textbook chapters. Case studies investigate patterns of
functionality within the main sections of research articles,
compare word use in academic and non-academic texts reporting on
the same research, and explore the carrier word function of
academic vocabulary. The study concludes by looking at historical
and contemporary processes which have shaped the presence of
academic vocabulary in the English lexicon.
