answer:

literary vs. academic writing

1. at the end of the lesson, you should be able to: • distinguish the features of literary and academic writing • differentiate literary and academic writing • write a simple paragraph choosing between academic and literary writing

2. one kind of writing – academic writing – is rigid, procedural, purposed purely to convey knowledge, data and information. it’s orderly, organized and follows a formula. it is necessary. it can be dull. anyone can master it.

3. academic writing refers to a particular style of expression that researchers use to define the intellectual boundaries of their disciplines and their areas of expertise.

4. characteristics of academic writing include a formal tone, use of the third-person rather than first- person perspective (usually), a clear focus on the research problem under investigation, and precise word choice.

5. like specialist languages adopted in other professions, such as, law or medicine, academic writing is designed to convey agreed meaning about complex ideas or concepts for a group of scholarly experts

6. in academic writing, remember that you need to: i. brainstorm with yourself, or with a partner writer, to sift through your insights. ii. state your argument in the first part of your essay. iii. outline your ideas before you start writing. iv. research your materials for support of your stand or argument. v. begin with a strong statement or introduction. vi. end with a full closure or summary of your presentation.

7. the other kind of writing – creative writing – is inspired, artistic and entertains with word pictures, concepts and deep meaning. it is enjoyable to read. it touches us while teaching us. it’s an art form. it’s not necessary to learn, but a joy to those who do.

8. the term 'literary writing' calls to mind works by writers such as shakespeare, milton, or wordsworth; definitive examples of all that the term implies. we instinctively associate the term with characteristics such as artistic merit, creative genius, and the expression of mankind's noblest qualities.

Answer from: Quest

This question was raised in the recent debate in applied linguistics between widdowson and de beaugrande involved a dispute about the relationship between text and discourse. widdowson sees the two as distinction. my reading of his position is that discourse is text in use but that texts in corpora or presumably other linguistic collections of language are not discourse. texts need to be 'brought to life' to become discourse. the texts which are collected in a corpus have a reflected reality they are only real because of the presupposed reality of the discourses of which they are a trace. this is decontextualised language which is why it is only partially real. page 5 widdowson, h. g. (2000). on the limitations of linguistics applied. applied linguistics, 21(1), 3-25. de beaugrande argues that a text cannot be contextualised only shifted into a different context. a real text cannot be decontextualised, that is, removed from any context; we can only shift it into a different context, which is an ordinary transaction not just in language classrooms, but in most reports or discussions of what somebody has said. (de beaugrande page 114 from de beaugrande, r. (2001). interpreting the discourse of hg widdowson: a corpus-based critical discourse analysis. applied linguistics, 22(1), 104-121.
