商品簡介
Scholars of linguistics and various particular languages explore abstracts as an academic genre, looking at variation across cultures, variations across disciplines, and a diachronic perspective on language and genre change. Among the topics are English and Italian research article abstracts, a contrastive (English/Spanish) analysis of rhetorical and lexicogrammatical patterns in sociology research article abstracts, influences of collocational variations on making the PhD abstract an effective "would-be-insider" self-promotional tool, a structural and cross-generic analysis of abstract quality in complementary and alternative medicine papers, and the development of academic journal abstracts in relation to the demands of stakeholders.
