While titles in scientific journals in general have attracted considerable interest, titles in medical research seem not to have been examined quite extensively. In these few studies, attention has been paid primarily to the form and length of titles as well as to their content. What is also emphasised is the need for discussion and further research on the topic in order to establish consistent guidelines regarding the formulation of clear and precise titles, which would aid journal editors, authors and readers. This paper constitutes an attempt to examine practices of formulating titles in medical case reports in Polish, following the study of F. Salager-Meyer et al. (2013a), in which title length, structure and content were considered as well.

Research articles have often materialized through the use of impersonal objective strategies viz. abstract rhetors, passive constructions, and nominalizations. However, intrusive or subjective strategies, such as self-mentions, appear to integrate impersonal structures. As a rhetorical strategy to explicitly portray authorial selves, self-mentions help writers to project themselves into the discourse by marketing themselves and demarcating their original contribution to the field. Here, an interdisciplinary approach was adopted to examine explicit authorial presence in a comparable corpus of 40 research articles in applied linguistics, psychology, environmental engineering, and chemistry by taking into consideration: (i) the frequency of using exclusive first person plural pronouns (we, our, us, and ours); and (ii) the writers’ rhetorical functions of pronoun use. The results showed that there are interdisciplinary variations in the frequency and use of self-reference, particularly once the soft disciplines are set against the hard ones. The differing results across the datasets reflect the susceptibility of authorial presence to the rhetorical cultures conditioned by the discipline to which the writers belong. The current results are expected to broaden our understanding of disciplinary variations towards self-mentions usage in academic writings in the four communities, particularly in the under-researched disciplines of environmental engineering and chemistry.

This cross-linguistic and cross-cultural, corpus-based study explores the notion of writer identity expressed through self-reference. The study examines how writers from two cultural regions – Polish and Anglo-American – construct a credible representation of themselves in writing. That is, it investigates the differences and similarities in the frequency of use, and the role of first person pronouns and determiners, in the corpora of 40 research articles in the area of applied linguistics – 20 written by Polish authors in English, published in Polish institutions, and 20 by native English speakers, published in Anglophone journals. Additionally, the frequency of use and the role of nominal lexical items referring to the writers, such as the author(s) and the researcher(s), are explored. The location of pronouns, determiners and the lexical items in the IMRD structure (Introduction-Method-Results-Discussion) is also researched, as certain types of pronouns and determiners were expected to occur in the given sections, depending on their functions. The results clearly show that there is a striking difference between the use of pronouns and determiners in the texts written by the two groups of writers. The findings carry important implications for formulating clearer instructions and developing appropriate writing strategies by novices writing for publication in EFL.

This paper addresses the issue of authorial presence in contemporary academic discourse. It considers factors influencing authorial presence choices and compares traditional assumptions to current practice in writing academic articles. While exploring the hypothesis that recently there has been a shift from the so-called scientific paradigm established by academic writing style guides to a more subjective mode of academic writing, the study discusses the results of a corpus-based research into authorial presence choices in a corpus of research articles in applied linguistics written by native speakers of English. The findings of the investigation show that the authors exploit various rhetorical functions of author-reference pronouns for maintaining the writer-reader relationship and construing an authoritative authorial voice. The paper also reports the results of a cross-cultural investigation into the ways Anglo-American linguists and Czech linguists approach writer-reader interaction and manifest their authorial voice. It suggests that the lower rate and limited range of functions of author-reference pronouns used by Czech linguists can be explained by their non-native speaker status and the influence of the Czech academic writing literacy.

The present study compares the use of main interpersonal metadiscourse markers - hedges and boosters - in a corpus of 40 research articles from the area of applied linguistics, written in English by native speakers and Polish writers. Used as communicative strategies, these words and expressions increase (boosters) or reduce (hedges) the force of arguments. In order to gain an in-depth insight and to achieve greater precision, in the analysis the author utilizes a concordance tool WordSmith 6.0 (Scott 2012). The results point to important discrepancies in the usage of these text features by authors representing different native languages and cultures. The study has important implications for developing competence in writing for publication in English as a Foreign Language.

In the last few years, a growing interest in the interpersonal dimension of language has driven researchers to explore academic-scientific discourses on the basis of the Systemic Functional Linguistics framework. This framework, sharing the view that language is related to social, cultural and institutional contexts, offers a systematic approach, Appraisal Theory, put forth by Martin (2000) and Martin and White (2005) to analyze writers’ subjective positioning. This theory provides a battery of analytical tools to reveal some of the key rhetorical strategies used to express feelings, to judge people and their actions, and to react and value the quality of things, personal appearance and other phenomena, natural or not. Three systems, Attitude, Engagement and Graduation, the latter with the options of Force and Focus, are distinguished within the theory. In this work, we attempt to identify the resources of Graduation used to encode Attitude, either sharpening or subduing it in the Discussion Section of Research Articles in Audiology, and compare those results with a more widely-studied discipline, Psychology. A corpus of 30 research articles from 3 different journals from the field of Audiology and Psychology written by native English speakers in 2010 and 2011 was compiled. Results indicate a significant and varied number of evaluative resources to graduate Attitude, in which explicit resources of Force prevail in the Audiology corpus.

En los últimos años, un creciente interés en la dimensión interpersonal del lenguaje ha llevado a los investigadores a indagar los discursos académico-científicos desde el marco teórico ofrecido por la Lingüística Sistémico Funcional. Este marco, que comparte la visión que el uso del lenguaje está relacionado con contextos sociales, culturales e institucionales, ofrece un enfoque sistemático, la Teoría de la Valoración propuesta por Martin (2000) y Martin y White (2005), para analizar las posiciones interpersonales de los escritores. Esta teoría ofrece una batería de herramientas analíticas que hacen posible revelar algunas de las estrategias retóricas claves utilizadas para expresar sentimientos, emitir juicios y reaccionar y valorar la calidad de objetos, apariencia personal, y otros fenómenos, naturales o no. Se distinguen en la teoría diferentes tipos de evaluación y posicionamiento a través de los sistemas de Actitud, Compromiso y Graduación, subdividido en Fuerza y Foco. En este trabajo, intentamos identificar los recursos de Graduación que codifican la Actitud intensificándola o suavizándola en la Sección Discusión de Artículos de Investigación Científica (AIC) en Audiología, y comparar estos resultados con los de AIC de una disciplina más estudiada, la Psicología. Se analiza exhaustivamente un total de 30 artículos de investigación extraídos de tres diferentes journals de Audiología y de Psicología escritos por hablantes nativos entre los años 2010 y 2011. Los resultados dan cuenta del uso de un número significativo y variado de recursos evaluativos para graduar la Actitud, con predominancia de recursos explícitos de Fuerza en el corpus de Audiología.

Taking a cross-cultural perspective, this paper considers the functions of author-reference pronouns in contemporary English-medium academic discourse. While considering the range of authorial roles in academic discourse, the study explores how academic writers exploit various rhetorical functions of author-reference pronouns for communicating with their readers and enhancing the persuasiveness of their discourse. The cross-cultural investigation is carried out on a corpus of research articles in applied linguistics written by Anglophone and Czech linguists. The analysis considers the frequency of use and the most prominent rhetorical functions of personal pronouns in relation to the generic structure of research articles. The differences in the rate and functions of author-reference pronouns in research articles written by Anglophone and Czech linguists is discussed taking into consideration the intended readership and the divergences between the Anglophone and the Czech academic writing literacies.
