Contents:

University Language; Editorial page; Title page; LCC data; Table of contents; Acknowledgements; Introduction; The Spoken and Written Academic Language (T2K-SWAL) Corpus; Vocabulary use in classroom teaching and textbooks; Grammatical variation among university registers; The expression of stance in university registers; Lexical bundles in university teaching and textbooks; Multi-dimensional patterns of variation among university registers; Synthesis and future directions; References; Appendix A: Analytical procedures for the linguistic analyses.

Summary: University students must cope with a bewildering array of registers, not only to learn academic content, but also to understand course expectations and requirements. While many previous studies have investigated academic writing, we know comparatively little about academic speech; and no linguistic study to date has investigated the range of academic and advising/management registers that students encounter. This book is a first step towards filling this gap. Based on analysis of the T2K-SWAL Corpus, the book describes university registers from several different perspectives, including: vocabu.
