Mapping Academic Values in the Disciplines : A Corpus-Based Approach PDF
by Davide Simone Giannoni
Part of the Linguistic Insights Studies in Language & Communication series
- Information
Description
This is a broad strand of applied linguistic research that has focused on the language of science and scholarship, stressing its role in the construction and negotiation of knowledge claims.
Central to the success of such texts is the use of evaluative expressions encoding what is considered to be desirable or undesirable in a given domain.
While the speech acts relevant to evaluation have been extensively researched, little is known of the underlying values they encode.
This volume seeks to fill the gap by exploring the main facets of academic value in a corpus of research articles from leading journals in anthropology, biology, computer science, economics, engineering, history, mathematics, medicine, physics and sociology.
The collocations and qualified entities associated with such variables in the corpus provide insights into how scholars draw on a repertoire of conventional, largely unqualified, axiological meanings instrumental to the production of new knowledge in their field.
