Abstract(s)
Il contributo riguarda l'uso dell'inglese e dell'italiano nella comunicazione accademica e le questioni relative alla scrittura accademica in LS. In concreto, l'attenzione è indirizzata alle particolarità stilistiche della scrittura academica nelle due lingue, evidenziando similitudini e differenze nei due generi testuali del discorso accademico scritto: l'abstract e l'incipit dell'articolo scientifico. In quanto alla metodologia, la ricerca è basata sulla genre analysis e il corpus consiste di abstract e di introduzioni di articoli di ricerca relativi al settore delle scienze umanistiche, nello specifico della linguistica e della letteratura. Riteniamo il tema rilevante in relazione alla preparazione degli studenti universitari slovacchi di italiano L2 per la scrittura dei testi accademici in italiano.
This study deals with questions regarding the use of English and Italian in academic communication and the questions related to second language writing. It particularly draws attention to the stylistic particularities of academic writing in these two languages, pointing out some of their common and distinguishing features in two genres of academic discourse: the abstract and the introduction of a research article. As far as methodology is concerned, the research is based on genre analysis, and the corpus consists of abstracts and introductions of research articles from the humanities, specifically linguistics and literature. We believe that the knowledge of genre characteristics has the potential to help the students to write academic texts in their target contexts.
