Academic writing is commonly regarded as facilitating communication between authors and readers. Therefore, scholars are expected to present information about the external world through their texts and employ language to acknowledge, construct, and foster social connections. Textual engagement requires significant linguistic and cognitive efforts, regardless of the writers’ backgrounds. It involves complex knowledge, skills, and familiarity with social practices, which require explicit teaching and time. Even native English speakers find it challenging to acquire the necessary academic skills and social practices of the academic setting due to the discursive nature of higher education. This study explores the level of engagement in doctoral dissertation discussion sections written by Kurdish native speakers. To achieve this objective, the researcher analyzed eight randomly selected doctoral dissertations in English applied linguistics authored by Kurdish native speakers, employing Martin and White’s (2005) appraisal theory. The study identified each dialogic engagement resource’s frequency of occurrence and functions providing explanations and examples. The findings indicated that the writers being studied utilized different dialogic resources to converse with their potential audience. In addition, they preferred to employ resources that fostered expansive dialog more often than those that limited it, possibly to reduce the chances of encountering rejection or opposition. |
