Abstract:

This book explores how the voices of authors and other researchers are
manifested in academic discourse, and how the author handles the polyphonic
interaction between these various parties. It represents a unique study of
academic discourse in that it takes a doubly contrastive approach, focusing
on the two factors of discipline and language at the same time. It is based
on a large electronic corpus of 450 research articles from three
disciplines (economics, linguistics and medicine) in three languages
(English, French and Norwegian). The book investigates whether disciplines
and languages may be said to represent different cultures with regard to
person manifestation in the texts. What is being studied is thus cultural
identities as tendencies in linguistic practices. For the majority of the
features focused on (e.g. metatext and bibliographical references), the
discipline factor turns out to contribute more strongly to the variation
observed than the language factor. However, for some of the features (e.g.
pronouns and negation), the language factor is also quite strong.

Additional background information on the investigations reported in this
book can be found at www.uib.no/kiap/.
