Abstract | Reports on a study in which readers from eight countries evaluated and annotated the same three Discussion sections written in English by Dutch biologists. Discusses the nonnative competence in English, mother tongue interference, and non-anglophone tense conventions for reporting past events. Readers' responses to the preponderance of present tense in the texts appeared to be inconsistent. (Author/VWL) |
