Abstract:
In order for science to advance, previous research findings must be reviewed
and criticized. However, conveying criticism is particularly difficult for
scientists who must, at the same time, try to maintain an impersonal stance.
This co-edited collection of independent studies written by scholars from
many different countries addresses the thorny issue of criticism in science
through discourse analysis of written scientific texts.
The research reported in this volume deals with questions such as: 1) how
criticism is conveyed by various linguistic communities, such as Serbian,
French, Spanish, German and English; 2) how criticism is handled in various
genres, with examples drawn from book reviews, referees' reports, research
articles, editorials, and review/meta-analysis papers; 3) the extent to which
criticism is influenced by academic discipline, with findings from linguistics,
economics, biology, business, musicology, chemistry, literary research,
medicine, and physics, and 4) the impact interpersonal considerations have
on the linguistic realization of criticism.
The conclusions reached by these contributions have implications for both
the academic world and society at large in the sense that a fuller
understanding of how criticism is expressed will help in the education of
future scholars and in the understanding of the social construction of
knowledge.
