Globalized research writing in Jordan: Negotiating English language and culture.
Pedersen, Anne-Marie F.

Globalized research writing in Jordan: Negotiating English language and culture. - 202 p.

Adviser: Carol Mattingly.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Louisville, 2007.

This dissertation examines how academic English shapes and is shaped by the growing number of non-native speakers around the world who research and write in it. More specifically, the dissertation discusses data from an interview-based study of Arab researchers who write academically in English, focusing on their uses of scholarly sources. The conclusions challenge previous research that attributes plagiarism to non-Western writers' indifference to individual authorship and intellectual property and points to other factors that affect how second-language writers use sources, including material conditions, educational background, and academic expertise.

520 $a This dissertation examines how academic English shapes and is shaped by the growing number of non-native speakers around the world who research and write in it. More specifically, the dissertation discusses data from an interview-based study of Arab researchers who write academically in English, focusing on their uses of scholarly sources. The conclusions challenge previous research that attributes plagiarism to non-Western writers' indifference to individual authorship and intellectual property and points to other factors that affect how second-language writers use sources, including material conditions, educational background, and academic expertise.
520 $a The dissertation begins with a discussion of the historical background of English in Jordan, describing how British colonialism, Arab nationalism, and American neocolonialism have made English both a dominant language in Jordanian higher education and a language that is often at odds with Jordanians' Arab identities. Chapter II offers a literature review to contextualize the study and a detailed description of methodology. Chapter III discusses the study participants' complicated reasons for and reactions to writing academically in English, showing how the trans-cultural context in which they work shapes the way they negotiate their identities both inside and outside the academy. Chapter IV relates this discussion of negotiation to source-use practices. On one hand, these writers' linguistic and geographical positions have significant effects on the way they use sources and practice research writing. On the other hand, their linguistic and geographic identifications, similar to all other identifications, are in flux and interact with other factors, including their status as novices or experts in their fields and their educational backgrounds. Chapter IV also addresses the issue of plagiarism, suggesting that engagement in authentic and meaningful writing situations and in mentoring relationships with scholars in their fields help novice writers learn to avoid plagiarism and compose effectively with sources. Chapter V discusses the implications for research writing pedagogy and for international higher education policies.
