Abstrakt(y)
Numerous cross-linguistic and cross-disciplinary studies have looked at the manifestation of author stance in academic texts. One of the most recurrent areas of contrast has been the use of personal pronouns across linguistic and disciplinary cultures. This paper aims at reviewing previous research on self-reference in research articles taking an intercultural perspective. It focuses on 22 studies which report on results regarding this stance feature in 13 lingua-cultural contexts (Bulgarian, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Persian, Russian, Spanish). They have been extracted from relevant publications in the fields of English for Academic Purposes and English for Specific Purposes over the past 25 years (1998–2012). A close analysis of this research highlights different cultural trends in constructing writer-reader relationships in this academic genre and reveals important methodological issues across different studies. This review article also has implications for English as a lingua franca (cf. Mauranen 2012) as used in international publications.
Note
The first author is indebted to the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness for financing the project "English as a lingua franca across specialised discourses: a critical genre analysis of alternative spaces of linguistic and cultural production" (Project Reference FFI2012-37346), and to the Gobierno de Aragón and the Fondo Social Europeo for their support of the research group InterLAE (Interpersonalidad en el Lenguaje Académico Escrito / Interpersonality in Written Academic Language) (H21). The second author wishes to thank the European Union Structural Funds project "Postdoctoral Fellowship Implementation in Lithuania", which funded research for this article.
