Pilkington explores the forms and functions of the voices of scientists in books written for non-professionals. This study confirms the importance of considering presentation of discourse outside of literary fiction: popular science uses presented discourse in ways uncommon for fiction yet not conventional for non-fiction either.  This analysis is an acknowledgement of the social consequences of popularization. Discourse presentation of scientists reconstructs the world of the scientific community as a human space but also projects back into it an image of the scientist the public wants to see. At the same time, Pilkington’s findings strengthen the view of popularization that rejects the notion of a strict divide between professional and popular science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cpreface acknowledgements list of tables abbreviations popular science overview the genre is important and how it shapes reader perception scientific community with an agenda theoretical perspectives analytical approaches questions about definition importance emotionality in professional background framework texts methods role discourse presentation fiction non-fiction for presented analysis corpus selection methodology frequency information semino short findings dramatization narratives roles communicated thought not just through dialogue beyond so private explanation outside discovery versus writing another look fusion fiction-like qualities fictionalized conclusion formation positive bias practical applications research bibliography index introduction:=\"\" discourse:=\"\" discovery:=\"\" fis:=\"\" discoveries:=\"\" presentation:=\"\" appendix:=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/preface\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210749993303,"sku":"9789004365964","price":92.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/presented-discourse-in-popular-science-professional-voices-in-books-for-lay-audiences-9789004365964","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
