Going beyond the narrower focus of much previous theory and research, the volume advocates an original and integrated approach to the multifaceted nature of the academic language and literacy practices of universities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into two parts. Part 1 examines the context of contemporary universities and the broader influences that shape academic language use. Part 2 explores disciplinarity and the three dimensions that together shape academic language: social, epistemological, and discursive. The authors then present an innovative and integrated model of the three dimensions and use it to examine language from social science and STEM subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA concluding manifesto argues for an integrative, reflexive and ethical approach to researching academic language. \u003ci\u003eLanguage, Knowledge and Society in Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e is of interest to anyone concerned with understanding, analysing, and teaching the academic language of universities as it is used for study or research publication purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47397889671404,"sku":"9781350469549","price":401.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/22607773482668.jpg?v=1773730766"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/dr-alex-ding.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
