Abstract:
Written by an experienced authors' editor, this doctoral thesis in applied
linguistics investigates the English written by Dutch scientists. Does such
English contain distinctive Dutch (rather than learner) traits? And how and
why do readers from the discourse community react to it?
Tracing the outward spiralling of a text from a Dutch scientist's computer
screen to the journal page reveals the persons involved along the way.
Theories on writing, reading and translation that help explain their
textual interventions are discussed, as are the culture and conventions
that influence Dutch scientists' writing. Empirical evidence is presented
for discernable Dutch traits in scientific writing.
Two studies in which language professionals react to aspects of cohesion in
Dutch-authored English texts pave the way for an account of a large-scale
reception study in which the Discussions of three Dutch-authored manuscript
biology articles were read and annotated by biologists from eight
countries. These readers' reactions, in particular to aspects of cohesion,
hedging and verb tense, are related to whether or not they are English
native speakers and whether or not they have reviewed papers for
English-language scientific journals.
This book is intended to foster communication between applied linguists and
language professionals. The theoretical insights and practical implications
presented will therefore interest researchers of nonnative writing, ESP and
EAP teachers, authors' editors, and editors and reviewers of scientific
journals.
