Transkulturelle Wissensveränderung in wissenschaftlichen Texten – die Subtextart Einleitung als Beispiel

Abstract

In the present study an attempt is made to analyse the complexity of the cognitive structure of scientific texts from a transcultural perspective using the example of the subtext type Introduction. The study is based on the hypothesis that the authors of scientific texts in a foreign language take up elements from different scientific cultures which influence the author’s knowledge and the linguistic realization of the text.
