The paper analyses the distribution of the main categories of sentence linkers in essays written by advanced non-native users of English and compares the results with the variety and frequency of sentence linkers used in academic papers produced by native users. It tests the hypothesis that non-native writers are more inclined to overuse sentence linkers as an easy and ready-made tool to achieve cohesion of a text. Influence of teaching formulaic writing patterns is also discussed in the paper.

The purpose of this text is to make a review of the collections of papers published by the Faculty of Philosophy of Niš University on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Department of English Studies as a unit of this higher education institution in Serbia. It presents an overview of the six volumes of paper collections that were published in the period between 1980 and 2007, and attempts to highlight the most significant contributions and authors that form part of this three-decade long tradition. The overview includes a reference to the papers published, their authors, as well as a discussion of the most prevalent traits and/or contributions of the individual papers, focusing on the most influential ones. This paper, written as a celebratory retrospective of one area of the activities of the department, is primarily meant to emphasise the place and role these publications have had in the transition of the department from a newly-established organisational section to a well-known scholarly collective with a half-century long tradition of noted scientific effort and quality education of sought-after professional Anglicists.

Along with international research in the diverse field of genre analysis of academic discourse, there has been a steady increase in the number of studies of Serbian academic texts and comparative studies between Serbian and other languages. However, in the variety of researched academic genres, calls for papers (CFPs) have received comparatively little attention. In this study, the author compares the schematic structure of a sample of 16 Serbian and 16 English calls for papers of international conferences in humanities and social sciences in order to analyze differences in the production of rhetorical moves according to Swales’ (1990) CARS model and Yang’s (2013; 2015) models of rhetorical moves in CFPs. The results of qualitative and quantitative analyses show that Serbian CFPs in humanities and social sciences do contain a set of rhetorical moves which differs from the English calls in the ordering of the opening steps, the contents of the infopromotional Move 3 and the concluding moves, as English calls offered more follow-up websites and Serbian authors opted for a cordial greeting. The author concludes that the results reveal different practices in the two languages that may be culturally determined
