The Character and Structure of American Academic Speech 讲座人： Prof. John Swales (University of Michigan) 时 间： 2011年10月31日（周一）下午14:30-16:00 地 点： 北京外国语大学 逸夫楼 405教室 讲座内容： Is American academic speech more like scholarly prose or more like conversations in cafes? Is it nasty (as revealed by university novels), or is it nice? In this lecture, I make use of the Michigan Corpus of Academic Speech (MICASE) to attempt answers to these questions. In addition, I explore some of the grammatical features of this register and raise the issue of whether we need a different concept of grammar for academic speech from the established one for academic writing. Finally, the pedagogical implications of the findings are considered. 中心办公室 2011年10月30日 |
