Motivated by challenges such as the Bologna reform, the spread of English-Medium Instruction (EMI), and increasingly diverse student profiles, the authors draw on Cognitive Discourse Functions (CDFs), taking the position that attention to these cognitive operations and their linguistic realisations can help make academic expectations more accessible to learners who are still developing both disciplinary knowledge and academic language, while scaffolding rhetorical flexibility and genre awareness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThe book provides an empirical exploration of the emergence and realisation of CDFs in undergraduate writing across a range of disciplines. It will be of particular interest to researchers in applied linguistics and language education, especially those working in ESP and EMI contexts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-04-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783032176134\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-032-17614-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 163\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45551025979532,"sku":"9783032176134","price":40.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032176134.jpg?v=1778009529","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783032176134","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
