Reviews

[This book] is testimony to how rich and informative the study of semantic resources expressing intersubjective positioning can be when adopting the Engagement heuristic...as a veteran EAP professional who has been teaching and researching biomedical writing for almost twenty years, I can say that this is perhaps one of the most insightful works I have ever read on the discourse analysis of medical texts. - Hui Wang, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies / Sun Yat-sen University, English for Specific Purposes
