  • Izražanje osebnosti v akademskem diskurzu : primerjava rojenih in tujih govorcev angleščine
    Grad, Martin Anton
    Academic discourse has traditionally been understood as mere objective reporting and, therefore, best written in a conventionally impersonal manner. However, recent research has shown that this ... traditional model is no longer valid, that authors seek ways to express their presence, and that there are significant cultural and linguistic differences in expressing authorial identity. The paper presents an analysis of a corpus of English medical research articles written by Slovene authors and native speakers of English. The analysis focuses on the use of the personal pronouns we and us, and the possessive pronoun our. Results show considerable differences in their frequency and distribution. Based on the results for each type of pronoun, an analysis of the personal pronoun we and the possessive pronoun our was carried out. The second part of the study focuses on the discourse functions of both pronouns in the sections of articles where most significant differences in the frequency of use were observed.
