Textual Engagement of Native English Speakers in Doctoral Dissertation.

      Аннотация: Successful academic writers are those who competently project their assessments of research entities and claims (Lv, 2015). These writers take a stance toward what they discuss and adopt a point of view with respect to various issues discussed in their texts and to others who hold point of views on those issues (Hyland, 2012, 2015). Thus, academic texts -like any other type of text- are dialogic (Bakhtin, 1981) and although academic writers are required to produce texts representing external realities, they should simultaneously use language to recognize, build and exchange social relations (Hyland, 2007).
