Writing in Practice: Theories, Literacies, and Pedagogies for Scholarly Communication

Writing in Practice investigates how scholarly writing is built—paragraph by paragraph and argument by argument—through social, cognitive, and disciplinary lenses. Drawing on theories from cognitive linguistics, genre studies, and applied linguistics, the book shows how unity, coherence, and development emerge from purposeful moves across texts and across fields. It examines planning, drafting, and ethical source integration, while addressing the changing roles of AI, multimodality, and digital rhetoric in modern scholarly communication. With a strong commitment to equity and inclusion, the volume invites students, researchers, and educators to rethink teaching, learning, and assessment for multilingual, digitally engaged, and ethically aware communities.
