Summary
Academic Discourse focuses on English for Academic Purposes (EAP), which is a growing subject as English becomes increasingly established as the world language of instruction, research and publication. John Flowerdew demonstrates the scope, theoretical issues and pedagogical concerns of discourse analysis within academic contexts. The book discusses both written and spoken discourse and offers research methodologies with practical applications focusing on the main areas of discourse analysis within EAP - genre analysis, corpus-based analysis, contrastive rhetoric and ethnography.
