This book explores how interactions are achieved in new academic
discourses, from both cross-genre and cross-disciplinary
perspectives. By adopting a corpus-based analysis, it takes a
detailed look at academic blogs, online book reviews, the
abbreviated summary of article highlights, and the challenging
postgraduate genre of the three-minute thesis. Through careful
study of these discourses, the author aims to expand our
understanding of the way researchers seek to make their work
accessible to new audiences and create more egalitarian and
engaging relations with them. Specifically, the author offers
thoughtful analyses of the workings of stance and engagement to see
how academics manage these new rhetorical challenges and reach out
to both lay and specialist audiences. Through these analyses we
gain new insights into both the genres themselves and how academics
write in the twenty-first century. The book thus serves as an up to
the minute work on new issues in the field of English for Academic
Purposes.
