The book comprises twelve chapters written by experts from eight countries and addresses the following topics: the role of evaluation and argument in reviews interpersonal aspects of review discourses the connections of evaluation to disciplinary cultures and language the expression of evaluation in different languages diachronic change in review discourses the role of power and interest in academic reviews evaluation of discourse approaches to either student needs
