Abstract:

Exploring how critical thinking is expressed in writing, this book
investigates the specific linguistic elements involved in this process. Ian
Bruce takes a genre-based approach to compare the textual expression of
critical thinking in samples of academic, professional and journalistic
writing, using five studies to examine the similarities and differences in the
elements deployed across different genres.

Looking at phenomena such as the relations between propositions and words
which express the writer's personal attitude, content-organizing patterns, and
the role of metaphor, this book highlights the most important contributory
factors in the expression of critical thinking. Providing an in-depth
exploration of how it is articulated through different types of specialist
writing, this book provides a lens to both examine texts and to identify and
practice this skill.
