Linguistic Analysis of Grant Proposals: European Union Research Grants.
Connor, Ulla; Mauranen, Anna
English for Specific Purposes, v18 n1 p47-62 1999
Analysis of 34 European-Union research-grant proposals written mainly by Finnish-led teams used genre analysis and a social constructionist theory of genre to investigate characteristic features of grant proposals, especially those not covered in academic writing courses. Ten recurrent moves were identified, reflecting the generic affinity of grant proposals to both academic research papers and promotional genres. (Author/MSE)
