Academic Writing
It is a particular style of writing that you need
to use when writing formal essays and reports. Its goal is to
convey
knowledge, data, and information in a clear, precise, concise, and
objective manner. It uses words which are formal, standard and
impersonal. Persuasive and informative essays, and research
papers are examples of this.

1. Complexity
Next
Written language is relatively more
complex than spoken language.
Written language has longer words, it
is lexically denser, and it has a more
varied vocabulary. It uses more nounbased phrases than verb-based
phrases. Written texts are shorter,
and the language has more
grammatical complexity, including
more subordinate clauses and more
passives.

2. Formality
Next
Academic writing is
relatively formal. In general,
this means that in an
essay you should avoid
colloquial words and
expressions.

3. Precision
Next
In academic writing, facts
and figures are given
precisely.

4. Objectivity
Next
Written language is in general
objective rather than personal. It
therefore, has fewer words that refer
to the writer or the reader. This
means that the
main emphasis should be on the
information that you want to give and
the arguments
you want to make, rather than you.
For that reason, academic writing
tends to use
nouns (and adjectives), rather than
verbs (and adverbs).

5. Accuracy
Next
Academic writing uses vocabulary
accurately. Most subjects have words
with narrow specific meanings.
Linguistics distinguishes clearly
between "phonetics"
and "phonemics"; general English
does not.

6. Responsibility
Next
In academic writing you must be
responsible for, and must be able
to provide evidence and justification
for, any claims you make. You are also
responsible
for demonstrating an understanding
of any source texts you use.
