Abstract:
Using a wide range of professional genres such as research papers, business
reports, performance commentaries, guidebooks and legal documents, this study
focuses on the discourse of professional writing, employing analytic paradigms
from systemic-functional linguistics, pragmatics, text analysis, sociology and
anthropological linguistics. Kenneth Kong argues that while professions use
different sets of practices, their use of language displays many universals.
This is demonstrated through the analysis of data from a broad cross-section
of professional settings such as medicine, law, business, mass media and
engineering. This examination of professional discourse, and its important
role in society, will be of interest to researchers in applied linguistics, to
professionals who want to understand the role of language in their work, and
to teachers of English for specific purposes.
