Abstract:

This book develops the concept of 'writtenness' (historically-formed stylistic
and aesthetic values within writing) to highlight the demands,
taken-for-granted ideals, institutional frictions, and changing circumstances
of academic writing in English in the contemporary international university.

Recognising the political importance of the role that English plays in an
increasingly internationalized higher education network, Joan Turner pits
writtenness against the contingency and instability of international English
in real-life institutional contexts. In doing so, she brings out the
theoretical significance of this, as writing becomes a motor of linguistic
change and can no longer be seen simply as the repository of academic
standards.

Of particular interest to academics and postgraduates in TESOL, applied
linguistics, rhetoric and composition, English as a Lingua Franca studies, and
the sociolinguistics of writing, as well as to EAP practitioners, this book is
among the first to theoretically consider the implications for the cultural
homogeneity of the written word. It also offers a unique perspective on the
role of writtenness within the broader historical context of leaving the era
of print culture. As such, this book is highly recommended for students,
researchers, and policy makers alike.
