Abstract

The author presented the forthcoming book on knowledge dissemination in English, in print at the time. This volume brings together a series of studies on the nature of the dissemination of specialist knowledge in English, its various principles, conceptualizations, constructs and pragmatic dynamics, over a range of discourse genres. Knowledge discourse is addressed to a number of audiences, expert and lay. The studies reveal the multi-levels of knowledge, its varied typology and its dynamic nature in ongoing co-construction, maintenance and updating among heterogeneous audiences. The authors explore the use of language in the creation and diffusion of knowledge, in its transformation from being a mere repository of information, achieved through complex discursive processes.
