Personal integrity <= affiliation
Awareness of individual and corporate identities underpins the construction of academic worth Giannoni 2006:19
To be perceived as reliable scholars authors are expected to
1.   Appear as  experts( part of the academic community) and
2.   Do so in a linguistically predictable( standard) manner(ibidem)

 

Like other professional communities, academics largely construct their identities in terms of affiliation, whether institutional, disciplinary or to a particular school of thought.

-   Institutional: University, funding institution, the publisher, etc. i.e., the “organization” within which the researcher is “framed”
-   Disciplinary(exoteric community) about which the researcher is doing his research
-   School of thought( sub-disciplinary): related to the specific methodologies which distinguish several sub-disciplines(esoteric communities) within a broad discipline(i.e., Freud vs Jung vs. Lacan)
-   
How can authors represent their affiliation?

-   through text-internal strategies: when the author deals with the object of his research, using:
o   explicit text-internal resources(citations, bibliographical references)
o   implicit linguistic strategies to deal with the content, by making refrences to existing knowledge(media discourse, mitigation, evaluation)
-   through text-external/ pre textual resources: the way the author introduces him-/herself to the readers:
o   In his/ her profile
o   In acknowledgements

Integritetit personal <= pėrkatėsisė
Ndėrgjegjėsimi i identiteteve individuale dhe tė korporatave mbėshtet ndėrtimin e Giannoni akademik vlerė 2006:19

1. Paraqiten si eks (pjesė e komunitetit akademik) dhe
2. Bėjnė kėtė nė njė mėnyrė gjuhėsisht tė parashikueshme (standard) (po aty)

 

Ashtu si komunitetet e tjera profesionale, akademikėt kryesisht ndėrtojnė identitetin e tyre nė aspektin e pėrkatėsisė, qoftė institucionale, disiplinore ose nė njė shkollė tė veēantė tė mendimit.

- Institucional: Universiteti, institucion financimit, botues, etj dmth, "organizata", brenda tė cilit ėshtė studiues "i pėrshtatur"
- Disiplinore (pėr njė rreth tė gjerė tė komunitetit) pėr tė cilat studiues ėshtė duke bėrė hulumtime e tij
- Shkolla e mendimit (nėn-disiplinor): nė lidhje me metodologjitė specifike qė dallojmė disa nėn-disiplina (komunitetet e fshehtė), brenda njė disiplinė tė gjerė (p.sh., Frojdi vs Jung vs Lacan)
-
Si mund tė autorėve tė pėrfaqėsojnė pėrkatėsinė e tyre?

- Pėrmes strategjive text-e brendshme: kur autori me objekt tė hulumtimit tė tij, duke pėrdorur:
burimeve o eksplicite tekst-tė brendshėm (citate, referencat bibliografike)
strategjive o nėnkuptuar gjuhėsore tė merren me pėrmbajtjen, duke e bėrė refrences tė njohurive ekzistuese (media, ligjėrimi zbutje, vlerėsim)

Contributior’s Profile
Perception of the author’s personal integrity can be from:
-   What the author says(text-internal resources, i.e. only when we read/ have read the author’s text)
-   The way the author introduces hi-/herself to the readers(text-external/ pre-textual resources) – when the author provides information about him/herself
o   in his/her profile
o   in acknowledgements

The contributor’s profile: framing the author within a recognizable context
-   The indication of the contributor’s name at the top of the first: page : not significant if the author is not an academic celebrity
-   the author’s name is usually linked to a text-external section (i.e., a footnote, a short paragraph at the end of the text, a line after the author’s name, etc). Here different pieces of information from and about the author can combine:
o   institutional information
o   extra bio-biographical information
o   contact information
-   These different types of information perform different communicative functions and convey specific ideas as to the author’s identity.
Institutional Information: introducing the author
-Instituional information has a primarily informative function: by positioning the author in relation to a specific and recognizable institution, it reveals the his/her institutional/ professional self
- Dr X.Y.
   Professor of Law. University of Ch8icago Research student, University of Glasgow.
   Bank of Italy, Research Department
   European Council
    Independent Researcher

Tehe indication of institutional affiliation is relevant when authors are affiliated to several institutions: by selectin/foregrounding one of them for their profile they implicitly establish the way they wish to be perceived.
Ex. Authors curriculum vitae: Dr.J.F.:
   Jeffrey&Susan Brotman Professor of Law, University of Washington Law School
   Bar of Massachusetts
    Bar of the Supreme Court of the Unites States
Affiliation in the author’s profile for her articles:
   Brotman Professor of Law, University of Washington
Like other professional communities academics, largely contruct their identities in terms of affliliation, whether institutional, disciplinary or to a particular school of thouth.
-.Institutional: related to the institution(University, funding institution, the publisher, etc i.e., the organization within which the researcher is framed)
-Disciplinary: related to the discipline(or the edxoteric community, cf. Myers 1989, 1990) about which the researcher is doing his research
-School of thought(sub-disciplinary): related to the specific methodologies which distinguish several sub-disciplines(or esoteric communities)within a broad discipline

When presenting a research article, I could choose to foreground / stress one of the following aspects about myself(and my work):
-   Researcher for a project funded by the Provincia di Bergamo
-   Researcher of the Foreign Language Dept., Universtiy of Bergamo
-   Member of a research group on Specialized Discourse
-   Researcher in the research unit directed by Prof. X on arbitration – mediation

1.   RESEARCHER FOR A PROJECT FUNDED BY THE PROVINCIA DI BERGAMO
-   Emphasis on funding body/institution
-   Addressed(also) to a broad audience(not necessarily specialized)
-   Implying the practical usefulness of my research, and my gratitude to the funding body

2. RESEARCHER OF THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPT., UNIVERSITY OF BERGAMO
- Emphasis on the institutional-academic affiliation
-Addressed to a “generi”( exoteric) specialized audience(in Foreign Languages, i.e., exoteric audience)
- Implying may scientific validity (since I am a part of the University world)

3. MEMBER OF A RESEARCH GROPU ON SPECIALIZED DISCOURSE
- Emphasis on the disciplinary affliation
-Addressed to a specialized audience(in Specialized Discourse, i.e., esoteric audience)
-Implying the relevance of my work(only) to that specific discipline

4. RESEARCHER IN THE RESEARCH UNIT DIRECTED BY PROF. X ON ARBITRATION-MEDIATION
-Emphasis on the sub-disciplinary affiliation (school of thought)
-Addressed to a specialize and specific audience(who already know Prof. X and his work, i.e., esoteric audience)
Academic identity is defined by the loyalty shown to a certain theoretical and bibliographical tradition within disciplines
In the light of this claim which of the foru examples above the most specific discipline

2.   Additional bio-Bibliographical Information: promoting the author
A tendency towards self –promotion in the informative bits concerning the author’s acadim career, research and bibliography.

3.   CONTACT INFORMATION: INTERACTING WITH THE COMMUNITY
a.   In the profile we may find the contributor’s surface address(usually institutional s.a.) or e-mail address
b.   This inromation impolicitly encourages readers to send feedback, comments or opinions, virtually favourin interaction.
c.   This open attitude is indivative of the author’s social identity, thus, contact information has a social and interactional function: BY IMPLYING THE AUTHOR’S OPEN AND INTERACTIVE ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE READERS, IT REVEALS THE AUTHOR’S COOPERATIVE
