Options of Identity in Academic Writing.
Hyland, Ken
ELT Journal, v56 n4 p351-58 Oct 2002
Explores the most visible expression of a writer's presence in a text: the use of exclusive first person pronouns. Shows that not all disciplines follow the same conventions of impersonality, and that there is considerable scope for negotiation of identity in academic writing. (Author/VWL)
