520 |a This book examines the concept of persuasion in written texts for specialist audiences in the English and Czech languages. By exploring a corpus of academic research articles, corporate reports, religious sermons and user manuals the authors aim to reveal similarities and differences in rhetorical strategies across cultures and genres. They draw on Biber and Conrads (2009) model for contextualising interaction in specialised discourses, Bells (1997) framework for the analysis of participants roles, Swales (1990) genre analysis approach for considering genre constraints and Hylands (2005) metadiscourse model for investigating writer-reader interaction. The result is a book which will appeal to researchers and students in Discourse Studies, especially those with an interest in genre and rhetorical strategies. Olga Dontcheva-Navratilova is Associate Professor of English Linguistics at Masaryk University, Czechia. Martin Adam is Associate Professor of English Linguistics at Masaryk University, Czechia. Renata Povolna is Associate of English Linguistics at Masaryk University, Czechia. Radek Vogel is Assistant Professor of English Linguistics at Masaryk University, Czechia.
