This paper aims to contribute to the study of the concept of writer’s visibility inspired by approaches to the analysis of identity in written discourse (see Ivanič 1998, Charles 1999 and John 2005). The way medical academic writers self-represent themselves in their research articles can be seen in terms of a gradable visibility cline crafted and constrained by the academic genre expectations of these texts (Swales and Feak 2004; Stock and Eik-Nes 2016). Traditionally, authorial visibility has been studied within frameworks such as evaluation , authorial voice and stance . Still, there is no framework as yet been proposed that binds together possible textual realisations that can be considered as visibility features in academic written texts. This paper conducts a study of 40 medical research articles that reveal different manifestations of the authors’ presence. A cline is proposed that encompasses different lexico-grammatical realisa tions such as self-mentions, passive constructions and non-animated subjects followed by active verbs. These features can be interpreted as authorial voice realisations that allow us to measure or grade writers’ visibility and its rhetorical implication in the text. Abstract rhetors presented the lowest frequency (327 tokens) yet, they directly were interpreted as Med-RAs results and products. Contrastive studies dealing with (im)personality and (de)personalisation processes have been conducted in RAs and in scientific dissemination articles by Ciapuscio (2003), Ferrari and Gallardo (1999), Gil-Salom (2000) or Martínez (2001). They suggest that nominalisations and, more specifically, abstract rhetors are kept in the resulting scientific dissemination articles or popularizations to maintain the reader’s trust in the research process.

本文旨在对作者可见性概念的研究做出贡献，这一概念受到书面话语中身份分析方法的启发(见ivaninik 1998, Charles 1999和John 2005)。医学学术作家在他们的研究文章中自我表现的方式可以从这些文本的学术类型期望精心制作和限制的可分级可见性角度来看(Swales和Feak 2004;股票和Eik-Nes 2016)。传统上，作者可见性研究的框架包括评价、作者声音和作者立场。尽管如此，目前还没有一个框架被提出，将可能的文本实现结合在一起，可以被认为是学术书面文本的可见性特征。本文对40篇医学研究文章进行了研究，揭示了作者存在的不同表现。本文提出了一种包含不同词汇语法实现的语体，如自我提及、被动结构和主动动词后的非动画主语。这些特征可以解释为作者的声音实现，使我们能够衡量或评分作者的可见性及其在文本中的修辞含义。摘要修辞学的出现频率最低(327个)，它们直接被解释为Med-RAs的结果和产物。在RAs和Ciapuscio(2003年)、Ferrari和Gallardo(1999年)、Gil-Salom(2000年)或Martínez(2001年)的科学传播文章中，已经进行了关于(非)个性和(非)个性化过程的对比研究。他们建议将名词化，更具体地说，抽象修辞保留在最终的科学传播文章或普及中，以保持读者对研究过程的信任。所表示的Med-RAs的可见度不同

In this paper we compare the combinations of epistemic modal markers in research articles in medicine and humanities written in English. In our analysis, we focus on three aspects. First, we look at the distribution of combinations of MODAL AUXILIARY + MODAL ADVERB (emphasizer) used in an epistemic sense in two subdomains of academic writing, ACAD: Medicine and ACAD: Humanities in COCA (Davies, 2008–2018). Second, we investigate the statistical significance of the differences between the two subdomains. Finally, we consider the relevance of the epistemic modal markers in presenting the argumentation line in research articles in medicine and humanities. The results demonstrate the difference in preference in co-occurrences of the selected modal markers in the two distinct academic subcorpora and indicate to what extent they are a significant feature to be included in developing academic writing skills, which is crucial for the effective and convincing communication of research

In this article an analysis is made of the first season of the television series The Americans from a cultural perspective which shows the relevance of the series within the context of the first decades of the 21st century. The series belongs to a specific genre that used to be masculine and mainly centered on the conflicts resulting from the confrontation between individual male loyalties and their identities conditioned by their belonging to a political order. By humanizing the usual villains in the spy genre, the series introduces a certain moral ambiguity and the idea that political ideologies lose their value in the face of individual motivations. This article explores the use of the conventions of the spy genre and how the model is adapted to allow for the treatment of present-day concerns related to the individual’s struggle (now female as well) to reconcile public and

Following Verhagen’s suggestion that “one cannot be an optimal semanticist without also doing syntax and discourse analysis” (Verhagen 1995: 104), we attempt to analyse the English present progressive from the semantic point of view. First, we investigate the intertwined connection between tense and aspect. Then, after Goldsmith and Woisetschlaeger (1982) we examine the structural and the phenomenological interpretations of events expressed in present tenses. We claim that present progressive is highly polysemous with a core meaning expressing the immediacy in temporal reality, a number of peripheral but stable senses and numerous “meaning potentials” (Norén and Linell 2007) which are substantiated only in specific contexts. Having established a general view of its meanings, we analyze unconventional uses of the present progressive i.e. its occurrence with verbs traditionally perceived as static. We suggest that modal meanings in such unconventional pairings of verb and aspect emerge as a result of a blending process (Fauconnier and Turner 2002, 2003).
根据Verhagen提出的“不做句法和语篇分析就不可能成为最优的语义学家”(Verhagen 1995: 104)，我们试图从语义的角度分析英语现在进行时。首先，我们研究了时态和时态之间相互交织的联系。然后，在Goldsmith和Woisetschlaeger(1982)之后，我们研究了用现在时态表达的事件的结构和现象学解释。我们认为，现在进行式具有高度的多义性，其核心意义表达了时间现实中的直接性，许多外围但稳定的感觉和许多“意义潜力”(norsamn and Linell 2007)，这些意义潜力仅在特定的语境中得到证实。在对现在进行时的意义有了大致的认识之后，我们分析了现在进行时的非常规用法，即它与传统上被认为是静态的动词一起出现。我们认为，在这种非常规的动词和体对中，情态意义是混合过程的结果(Fauconnier和Turner 2002,2003)。
