Abstrakt(y)
This study examines the use and distribution of language means expressing authorial presence in the genre of the academic review article. Furthermore, discourse functions of these means expressing audience involvement are explored. The focus is predominantly on the first person singular and plural pronouns and on possessive pronouns. The frequency of these pronouns and their rhetorical functions are compared in the corpus of Czech and English academic book review articles with the aim to find out any cross-cultural variation and possible influences of the Anglophone academic writing tradition on the Czech academic style. The results indicate that the genre of the academic book review article is highly dialogic and subjective and that the Czech academic tradition is strongly influenced by the global Anglophone tradition.
