"""This is a wide-ranging volume in terms of the academic genres it covers, but yet remains tightly-focussed on what the editors call "interpersonality". For them, this is an "umbrella term" for all the various means, covert, discreet and overt, employed by academic writers to establish their presence in their own texts. In consequence, this collection will be of interest to all those involved in written academic discourse, especially in English, whether as producers, analysts or instructors. Although the chapter authors come from many European countries, a majority are based in Spain, once again underlining that country's current pre-eminence in this important and fast-growing field."" - Professor John M.

Swales, University of Michigan, USA ""Interpersonality is now widely recognized as a key feature of academic discourse. To create knowledge, To get their ideas accepted and to establish their reputations, academics must present themselves and engage with their peers in ways readers find familiar and persuasive. Exactly how this is done in different contexts has become a hot topic in applied linguistics and this book is a timely and authoritative contribution To The debate. Constructing Interpersonality: Multiple perspectives on written academic genres provides an accessible and thought-provoking dimension To The issues surrounding questions of interpersonality, bringing together contributions from top scholars in the field to investigate the theoretical and empirical implications of taking interpersonality seriously. Featuring an array of theoretical positions, exploring contrasts across disciplines, languages, and genres, and covering a range of genres from research articles to academic weblogs, this book will be of considerable interest to students and researchers in EAP, discourse analysis, and applied linguistics."" - Professor Ken Hyland, City University of Hong Kong ".
