- Synopsis
- This Element is focused on exploring interdisciplinarity in academic writing by describing the ways in which disciplines interact when forming interdisciplinary fields and how language reflects (and is reflected by) these interactions. In order to reach this aim, the use of bibliographical citations has been investigated on a corpus of research articles from three interdisciplines: educational neuroscience, economic history, and science and technology studies. In addition, comparisons between the interdisciplinary fields and their related single-domain disciplines have been carried out. The methodology employed combines the analysis of quantitative data with their qualitative interpretation by means of close reading. It has been concluded that bibliographical citations constitute a viable tool to explore interdisciplinary writing in the fields explored. Furthermore, it has been possible to describe different types and modes of interdisciplinaity, which are rooted in epistemological notions, by means of linguistic evidence.
