Are you a doctoral student or a researcher in the field of Arts, Humanities or Law ?Would you like to present your research in a well-structured and readable manner ? This book shows you how to make sure your article receives the attention it deserves.Advanced Academic English: Writing a Research Article addresses the following questions:How can I acquire an academic writing style ? How can I develop an elaborate and accurate academic vocabulary ? How can I integrate the literature into my paper ? How can I structure an introduction ? How can I construct an argumentative paper ? How can I interpret and evaluate my data in relation to the problem at hand ? How can I write a concise but self-explanatory abstract ? You can find an answer to these questions by doing a variety of task-based and process-based learning activities, such as filling in the gaps, rewriting sentences and paragraphs, and offering peer feedback. Several language focus sections deal with grammar topics related to the writing process of a research article.

Abstract

An exploration of the way videogames mount arguments and make expressive statements about the world that analyzes their unique persuasive power in terms of their computational properties.Videogames are an expressive medium, and a persuasive medium; they represent how real and imagined systems work, and they invite players to interact with those systems and form judgments about them. In this innovative analysis, Ian Bogost examines the way videogames mount arguments and influence players. Drawing on the 2,500-year history of rhetoric, the study of persuasive expression, Bogost analyzes rhetoric's unique function in software in general and videogames in particular. The field of media studies already analyzes visual rhetoric, the art of using imagery and visual representation persuasively. Bogost argues that videogames, thanks to their basic representational mode of procedurality (rule-based representations and interactions), open a new domain for persuasion; they realize a new form of rhetoric. Bogost calls this new form "procedural rhetoric," a type of rhetoric tied to the core affordances of computers: running processes and executing rule-based symbolic manipulation. He argues further that videogames have a unique persuasive power that goes beyond other forms of computational persuasion. Not only can videogames support existing social and cultural positions, but they can also disrupt and change these positions themselves, leading to potentially significant long-term social change. Bogost looks at three areas in which videogame persuasion has already taken form and shows considerable potential: politics, advertising, and learning.

Abstract

A Resource for Researchers In toenemende mate wordt van academici verwacht dat ze in het Engels publiceren. Voor velen is dit geen gemakkelijke opgave, ook al drukken ze zich vlot uit in discussies en informele contacten. Academic Writing in the Humanities and Social Sciences helpt beginnende en meer gevorderde onderzoekers bij het opstellen en redigeren van Engelse teksten. Het boek omvat volgende componenten: - concrete richtlijnen voor het schrijven van een aantal specifieke genres, zoals een abstract of een research proposal, en voor het verbeteren van taal en stijl in het algemeen. - een ruime selectie academische woordenschat, met nadruk op collocaties (bv. address an issue, a wide range) - een overzicht van typische grammaticale problemen De voorbeelden en oefeningen zijn gebaseerd op een corpus van teksten uit het domein van de Humane Wetenschappen, wat de relevantie en authenticiteit garandeert. Het boek kan gebruikt worden in lesverband, voor zelfstudie, of als naslagwerk bij het schrijven.
