This book presents an accessible, genre-based introduction to a
growing area of linguistics - academic discourse. By highlighting
its nature and importance to the modern world, this is an essential
read for students. Academic discourse is a rapidly growing area of
study, attracting researchers and students from a diverse range of
fields. This is partly due to the growing awareness that knowledge
is socially constructed through language and partly because of the
emerging dominance of English as the language of scholarship
worldwide. Large numbers of students and researchers must now gain
fluency in the conventions of English language academic discourses
to understand their disciplines, establish their careers and to
successfully navigate their learning.This accessible and readable
book shows the nature and importance of academic discourses in the
modern world, offering a clear description of the conventions of
spoken and written academic discourse and the ways these construct
both knowledge and disciplinary communities. This unique
genre-based introduction to academic discourse will be essential
reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying TESOL,
applied linguistics, and English for Academic Purposes.Discourse is
one of the most significant concepts of contemporary thinking in
the humanities and social sciences as it concerns the ways language
mediates and shapes our interactions with each other and with the
social, political and cultural formations of our society. "The
Continuum Discourse Series" aims to capture the fast-developing
interest in discourse to provide students, new and experienced
teachers and researchers in applied linguistics, ELT and English
language with an essential bookshelf. Each book deals with a core
topic in discourse studies to give an in-depth, structured and
readable introduction to an aspect of the way language in used in
real life.
