Domain-specific English
By:Giuseppina Cortese,Philip Riley
Published on 2002 by Peter Lang Pub Inc

Domain-specific discourse in English forms a continuum across the academic, professional and technical genres of all areas of knowledge. This collection of papers by scholars working in a variety of disciplines, cultural and institutional contexts forms an analytical and methodological framework for the discussion of a wide range of writing-related issues, problems and practices. The diversity of topics and perspectives represented here - including corpus-based approaches, discourse analysis and contrastive rhetoric, teaching methodology and domain-specific literacy, criticalness, linguistic ascendancy and the emergence of scientific English, identity and social epistemology - attests to the vitality and variety of sociolinguistic research in this complex and rapidly developing field.
