Reviews

With this volume, Elena Sheldon further contributes to our understanding of contemporary efforts being made by Spanish researchers to publish in English. Although she adopts an elaborate analytic approach (move analysis, engagement aspects of appraisal theory, and textography), her ultimate aim is to provide pedagogical assistance for her target audience. (John M. Swales, University of Michigan) Drawing on detailed textual analysis, Elena Sheldon illuminates the nuances of research articles that pose particular challenges for non-native speakers. She reveals how knowledge is advanced in academic discourse, how it is evaluated and how it is produced, and challenges the accountability of universities in these processes. (Louise Ravelli, University of New South Wales)
