Type: conference-paper
Abstract: 1. Background to the project This paper reports on the first stages of a three-year ESRC funded project to investigate genres of assessed writing in British higher education. The project aims to identify the characteristics of proficient student writing, and the similarities and differences between genres produced in different disciplines, and at different stages of university study. At the heart of the project is the creation of a corpus of British Academic Written English (BAWE), containing between three and four thousand samples of student assignments.
