Sinopsi

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. Theyádraw on Biber and ConradâÇÖs (2009) model for contextualising interaction in specialised discourses, BellâÇÖs (1997) framework for the analysis of participants roles, SwalesâÇÖ (1990)áágenre analysis approach foráconsideringágenre constraints and HylandâÇÖs (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.
