Opis

This book integrates insights from dialogic theory and SFL to extend our understandings of engagement in medical research articles, going beyond notions of the role of verbal dialogue to encompass mathematical and visual semiotics and consider text not just as language but as multisemiosis.

Recenzje

"[This book] is testimony to how rich and informative the study of semantic resources expressing intersubjective positioning can be when adopting the Engagement heuristic...as a veteran EAP professional who has been teaching and researching biomedical writing for almost twenty years, I can say that this is perhaps one of the most insightful works I have ever read on the discourse analysis of medical texts." - Hui Wang, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies / Sun Yat-sen University, English for Specific Purposes
