Before the debate I thought this text was an academic one because although at the beginning the author uses ordinary words in a simple style of writing, in my view, from the middle of the text to the end he uses technical vocabulary. Besides, it has an essay structure. And although the author does not cite other authors, I have heard it is not necessary if the author is an expert in the subject.
However, after the debate and having listened the counter-arguments I admit they make me doubt and that is why I would like to know the professor's opinion.
Hey!!!
ReplyDeleteI think what makes hard define this text as an academic one or not is the definition of "Academic Text", because even if it is a litterary one it is an academic one too. That's what I think.
Any way I think it is an academic text.
See you.
