Workshop "Grammar Overview for Article Writing"
When writing for publication, researchers are presented with a rhetorical problem: They have to establish a context for their writing and their own perspective as authors, attend to their audience, topic and purpose, and make decisions about how to do all of the above in the most effective way.
The session will provide insights into the system of grammar tenses in the English language with a particular focus on tense usage in article writing. We will explore and expand our experience of effective use of tenses in academic discourse where verb form usage goes beyond the simple representation of chronology. Tense choice indicates the degree of generality intended and discloses the author’s attitude towards the idea/theory that is being reported. The basic distinctions of meaning in the verb tense system will be considered in detail with application to the most common framework of an academic article.
