Fundamental Considerations on Text Production and Consumption

Role of the Writer = This is affected by the purpose of the writer, his/her knowledge of the topic, and the
type of audience he/she will have

Purpose of the Material = The purpose of writing whether it is for the academe or a specific field of
expertise

Target Audience = other hand, a professional paper in the form of a technical report is written for
colleagues in your field

Aspects of Professional and Academic Language

Formality = The levels of formality are formal, semi-formal, and informal. It is advised that one should
use the formal tone when writing or speaking to an unknown audience

b. Emotive language =This type of language appeals to the emotions or values of the audience. Emotive
language attempts to stir the emotion of the readers/listeners through superlatives and exaggeration

Judgmental language = This language shows the personal judgment of the writer or speaker. It sounds as
though the speaker/writer has come to a conclusion based on his/her previously-held beliefs rather than
through a review of the relevant literature

Personal language = Using this would depend on the writing context, purpose, and audience. This would
help the writer or speaker establish a connection and convey his/her passion and involvement in the
topic

Objectivity = if readers suspect that you are trying to manipulate peoples’ opinions about an issue, by
overstating or omitting facts, they will doubt the validity of the entire document/statement

Explicitness = Use clear and direct language. Stay away from figurative language such as metaphor,
simile, and irony as these can obscure the meaning of your statement

Hedging = Hedging refers to the use of linguistic devices to express hesitation or uncertainty as well as
to demonstrate politeness and indirectness (enago,com., 2020). Hedging is used to soften one’s words
and to avoid making a direct statement, or committing to a particular action or decision.
