The goal of this volume is to examine academic discourse (AD) from a cross-linguistic and cross-cultural perspective. The adjective
Cross-cultural in the volume title is not just limited to national contexts but includes also a cross-disciplinary perspective.
One of the unique aspects of the volume is the inclusion of a variety of foreign languages (8 in total: English (as a lingua franca), Spanish, French, Swedish, Russian, German, Italian, and Norwegian). Secondly, in several articles dealing with oral AD, comparisons and parallels are also established with written AD. The research methodologies used in the studies are varied and they offer an overview of the diversity and richness of approaches to AD. Finally, twelve scientific fields are under scrutiny in the articles.
All in all, it is hoped that the volume appeals not only to young researchers but also to confirmed scholars interested in the cross-linguistic and cross-cultural aspects of AD presented in the studies. It will also be of interest to language teachers or teachers who are involved with e.g. international students and academic mobility.
