Academic Writing in a Global Context addresses the issue of the
pressure on academics worldwide to produce their work in English in
scholarly publishing, and why the growth of the use of academic
English matters.
Drawing on an eight year text-ethnographic study of the
experiences of fifty scholars working in Europe, this book
discusses these questions at both a macro and micro level through
discussions of knowledge evaluation systems on all levels, and
analysis of the progress of a text towards publication. In addition
to this, case studies of individual scholars in their local
institutions and countries are used to illustrate experiences of
using English in the academic world.
Academic Writing in a Global Context examines the impact of the
growing dominance of English on academic writing for publication
globally. The authors explore the ways in which the global status
attributed to English is impacting on the lives and practices of
multilingual scholars working in contexts where English is not the
official language of communication and throws into relief the
politics surrounding academic publishing.
This book will be of interest to postgraduates and professionals
in the fields of World Englishes, language and globalization and
English Language Teaching.
