Some Concepts Differently Treated In The Multicultural Discourse Community (With The Special Reference To English And Serbian Academic Writing)

Summary/Abstract: The paper tries to depict some differences evidenced in the academic writing of the writers from different cultural backgrounds – members of the international discourse community. These differences are usually caused by different cultural inclinations towards certain concepts important for academic writing, such as: academic politeness and persuasiveness, the notion of ‘gender-sensitive’ writing and the manifestation of the author’s presence in the text (the author’s self-identification). These are just a few issues tightly connected to the writing habits established within a certain writing culture and commonly shared by its members, although some personal inclinations and preferences cannot be neglected. Nevertheless, some generalization is possible to make, especially when comparing English and Serbian academic writing, i.e. academic articles written by the two groups of writers.
