The Dialogism in English Academic Discourse
Abstract:Dialogism means the multi-voice in a discourse which contains such relationships as approval and disapproval, affirmation and complement, question and answer and so forth. In the light of dialogism, this paper points out that academic discourse contains the author's voice and others" as well. The dialogism in English academic discourse can be expressed through direct and indirect speech, implication- carrying words, nominalization, figures of speech, grammatical structures and so on. English academic discourse not only contains the voice of the author but contains the voice outside the author. It is concluded that a discourse can be understood better when dialogism is taken as the ideology of reading.
