Confrontation in Academic Communication

Meer over het boek

Focusing on argumentation strategies in academic criticism, this book explores the dynamics of confrontation in scholarly discourse, particularly between English and German contexts. It examines intertextuality, cultural variations, and the concept of the "academic discourse community." The analysis includes a corpus of negative academic book reviews and discusses the implications of context-based versus corpus-based methods. The work highlights the influence of discipline culture and communities of practice, making it valuable for researchers and educators in academic communication and rhetoric.
