Writing in the academy has assumed huge importance in recent years
as countless students and academics around the world must now gain
fluency in the conventions of academic writing in English to
understand their disciplines, to establish their careers or to
successfully navigate their learning. Professor Ken Hyland has been
a contributor to the literature on this topic for over 20 years,
with 26 books and over 200 chapters and articles. This work has had
considerable influence in shaping the direction of the field and
generating papers and PhD theses from researchers around the world.
This is a topic which has found its time, as a central concept in
applied linguistics, sociology of science, library studies,
bibliometrics, and so on. This book brings together Ken Hyland's
most influential and cited papers. These are organised thematically
to provide both an introduction to the study of academic discourse
and an overview of his contribution to the understanding of how
academics construct themselves, their disciplines and knowledge
through written texts. Several academic celebrities from the field
provide a brief commentary on the papers and the book includes an
overall reflection by the author on the impact of the papers and
the direction of the field together with linear notes on the
specific papers in each section. The volume not only includes some
of Hyland's best chapters and journal articles but the thoughts of
disciplinary luminaries on both the ideas in the book and the
general state and direction of the field.
