Exploring how critical thinking is expressed in writing, this book
investigates the specific linguistic elements involved in this
process. Ian Bruce takes a genre-based approach to compare the
textual expression of critical thinking in samples of academic,
professional and journalistic writing, using five studies to
examine the similarities and differences in the elements deployed
across different genres. Looking at phenomena such as the relations
between propositions and words which express the writer's personal
attitude, content-organizing patterns, and the role of metaphor,
this book highlights the most important contributory factors in the
expression of critical thinking. Providing an in-depth exploration
of how it is articulated through different types of specialist
writing, this book provides a lens to both examine texts and to
identify and practice this skill.
