  • More about Authorial Presence in English Academic Texts: A Comparative Study of Student Writing across Cultures and Disciplines

This book explores how writing is influenced by individual and social factors, using a multi-aspect model of academic writer identity. It draws on socio-semiotic and anthropological views of language to analyze how individuals reproduce or challenge dominant practices and discourses and occupy subject positions in discourse communities.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 254 pages

Publisher: Peter Lang AG

This book delves into a comprehensive case study of student writers from diverse cultural and academic backgrounds, seeking to unravel the intricate interplay between writing and identity. Through a meticulous analysis, it explores how writing serves as a powerful tool for individuals to express their unique selves and navigate the complex web of individual and social influences. This study encompasses a wide range of perspectives, including how individuals reproduce or challenge dominant literary practices and discourses, as well as how they occupy the subject positions available within their discourse communities.

To facilitate this analysis, the book draws upon a selection of socio-semiotic and anthropological views of language, which are then synthesized into a multi-faceted model of academic writer identity. This model encompasses various dimensions, such as the ways in which writers construct and negotiate their identities, the social and cultural contexts in which they write, and the ways in which their writing contributes to the broader academic discourse.

By examining the case studies presented in this book, readers gain a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics that shape student writer identity and the ways in which writing can be used as a tool for personal growth, social change, and academic success. The book offers valuable insights for educators, researchers, and students interested in the field of writing and identity, providing a rich foundation for future studies and discussions.
