Compilation and processing of academic writing expert corpora in Romanian and English in four disciplines: Linguistics, Political Sciences, Economics and Information Technology. The typology of the collected corpora: corpus 1 – expert academic writing in English L1 (by native-like expert writers published in peer-reviewed journals in English-speaking countries); corpus 2 - expert academic writing in English L2 (by Romanian expert writers publishing in English L2); corpus 3 – expert academic writing in Romanian L1 (by Romanian expert writers)
Identification of salient discipline-specific academic writing features that characterize expert academic writing in Romanian, English L1 and L2, in four disciplines (Linguistics, Political Sciences, Economics and Information Technology) (e.g. lexical preferences)
Identification of salient language-specific academic writing features emerging from the contrastive analysis of texts written in Romanian versus texts in English, in four disciplines (Linguistics, Political Sciences, Economics and Information Technology), which characterise Romanian academic writing (e.g. collocations)
Compilation of writing-support instruments (e.g. academic phrasebanks) for Romanian and English, in four disciplines (Linguistics, Political Sciences, Economics and Information Technology)
Creation of corpus-based contrastive methodology models, based on findings resulting from RO2-RO4, that can be replicated for other disciplines
Compilation of a set of pedagogical recommendations for use by university teachers in courses / workshops (on-site and virtual formats)
Design, testing and setting-up of the EXPRES platform, which hosts search interfaces within expert corpora, linguistic support tools (e.g. academic phrasebank search) and main results of the linguistic analyses targeted by RO2-RO5. The platform is planned to be dynamic (i.e. other texts / disciplinary data sets can be added)
Dissemination of project results: conference papers and publications on topics based in research performed in the frame of the DACRE project and popularization campaigns (e.g. event organisation) for the DACRE platforms.
