Xiaofei Lu, Penn State

An emerging bo dy of academic writing research has employed corpus-based genre analysis (CGA) to systematically describe the linguistic realizations of differe nt rhetorical functions in various genres of academic writing and docume nted the potential of CGA activities for promoting novice writers’ academic genre competence. Different from analyses/activities that focu s on either identifying key linguistic features or analyzing the rhetori cal structures of different genres of academic writing in isolation, CGA highlights the connection between key linguistic features characterizin g different genres of academic writing and the rhetorical or communicati ve functions they are used to realize. This workshop introduces particip ants to the rationale and agenda of the CGA approach, findings of recent studies adopting this approach, and methods for employing this approach in academic writing research and pedagogy.
