Abstract:

This book provides a comprehensive description of the situational and
linguistic characteristics of undergraduate student writing,
considering both assignment type and discipline. Drawing on a corpus
of more than 900 undergraduate student assignments from four
disciplinary groups (Arts and Humanities, Social Sciences, Physical
Sciences, and Life Sciences), the book combines corpus-based analyses
of linguistic features with analyses of communicative purposes and
text characteristics. <i>Variation in University Writing</i> takes a
new approach to register variation by grouping assignments by their
communicative purpose (to argue, to explain, to compare, to describe,
to narrate a personal event, to give a procedural recount, to give
personal advice, and to propose), rather than register categories. A
multidimensional analysis provides a detailed description of the
linguistic patterns of undergraduate writing. The findings presented
in this book will be of interest to teachers of writing, instructors
of English for Academic Purposes (EAP), and researchers of university
writing.
