Dialogue Within Discourse Communities: Metadiscursive Perspectives on Academic Genres

by Julia Bamford (Editor), Marina Bondi (Editor)

The book explores aspects of reflexivity and interactivity in a variety of academic oral and written, scientific and educational. Academic discourse is explored from a variety of perspectives that take a dialogic view of language use as their starting point, ranging from conversation analysis to descriptive or applied genre studies. Particular attention is paid to the way metadiscursive expressions contribute to a representation of the communicative procedures that characterise the ongoing (scientific and educational) dialogues.
