Abstract

• Studies of academic writing employ a range of corpus linguistic techniques • Studies have examined a diverse range of professional, student and research genres • Studies reveal routine organisation and features of different genres and show clear disciplinary preferences for expressing ideas and structuring arguments. • Language choices vary between genres, disciplines, first language speakers, contexts and over time. • Academic conventions constrain both meanings and author identities, but also provide the resources for creativity and agency. • More work needs to be done, particularly on less visible genres, multimodal texts and the impact on AI on academic writing.
