Persuasion in Specialised Discourses

Beschreibung

This book examines the concept of persuasion in written texts for specialist audiences in the English and Czech languages. By exploring a corpus of academic research articles, corporate reports, religious sermons and user manuals the authors aim to reveal similarities and differences in rhetorical strategies across cultures and genres. They draw on Biber and Conrad's (2009) model for contextualising interaction in specialised discourses, Bell's (1997) framework for the analysis of participants roles, Swales' (1990) genre analysis approach for considering genre constraints and Hyland's (2005) metadiscourse model for investigating writer-reader interaction. The result is a book which will appeal to researchers and students in Discourse Studies, especially those with an interest in genre and rhetorical strategies.

Rezensionen

"This book, then, may offer scholars working in rhetoric and discourse important insights on genre criticism, discourse studies, and even English for Special Purposes. ... As a scholar of rhetoric, I believe the authors' approach to specialized discourse from persuasion would lend value to scholars invested in discourse studies. Moreover, the book is reader-friendly, serving as excellent reading material with clear language and logic." (Ke Li, Discourse Studies, Vol. 23 (4), 2021)
