Corpus, Culture and Discourse is a groundbreaking new study of academic discourse across cultures, languages and disciplines that will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in language for specific purposes, corpus linguistics and intercultural communication/pragmatics. Based on a large-scale parallel corpus, the study examines social interaction, identity construction and metadiscourse in English- and Germanlanguage research articles across five disciplines. The innovative combination of quantitative corpus and statistical analyses with detailed qualitative analysis delivers some surprising and interesting results.
