For scholars frustrated with disciplinary conventions, and for specialists who want to write for a larger audience but are unsure where to begin, here are imaginative, practical, witty pointers that show how to make articles and books a pleasure to read-and to write.Dispelling the myth that you cannot get published without writing wordy, impersonal prose, Sword shows how much journal editors and readers welcome work that avoids excessive jargon and abstraction. Sword's analysis of more than a thousand peer-reviewed articles across a wide range of fields documents a startling gap between how academics typically describe good writing and the turgid prose they regularly produce.Stylish Academic Writing showcases a range of scholars from the sciences, humanities, and social sciences who write with vividness and panache. Individual chapters take up specific elements of style, such as titles and headings, chapter openings, and structure, and close with examples of transferable techniques that any writer can master. 606 $aAcademic writing 606 $aEnglish language$xStyle 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAcademic writing. 615 0$aEnglish language$xStyle. 676 $a808/.0420711 686 $aHF 124$2rvk 700 $aSword$b Helen$01048766 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452768003321 996 $aStylish academic writing$92477247 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03785nam 2200625Ia 450 001 9910954822703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-7618-8654-0 010 $a1-283-21376-1 010 $a9786613213761 010 $a0-7618-5301-4 035 $a(CKB)2670000000066223 035 $a(EBL)662261 035 $a(OCoLC)704285413 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000469290 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11303692 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000469290 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10510116 035 $a(PQKB)10908953 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL662261 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10435083 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL321376 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC662261 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000066223 100 $a20100420d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aForgotten reformer $eRobert Mcclaughry and criminal justice reform in nineteenth-century America /$fFrank Morn 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aLanham, MD $cUniversity Press of America$d2010 215 $a1 online resource (401 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a0-7618-5300-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aContents; Preface; Introduction; Part I: MCCLAUGHRY AND HIS MIDDLE BORDER BEGINNINGS; Chapter 01.
