In order to engage with the concept of voice, we need appropriate semiotic categories for analysis that work across modes. I would like to propose two categories for looking at academic voice. The first is authorial engagement which concerns the extent to which authors choose to engage with their audiences and subject matter (Hyland 1999) and is realized through different mode-specific conventions. The second category is citation. Citation is central to the construction of academic voice and is marked by positioning in relation to a particular discourse community. I will begin by focusing on authorial engagement.
