Drawing on a corpus of more than 900 undergraduate student assignments from four disciplinary groups (Arts and Humanities, Social Sciences, Physical Sciences, and Life Sciences), the book combines corpus-based analyses of linguistic features with analyses of communicative purposes and text characteristics. <i>Variation in University Writing</i> takes a new approach to register variation by grouping assignments by their communicative purpose (to argue, to explain, to compare, to describe, to narrate a personal event, to give a procedural recount, to give personal advice, and to propose), rather than register categories. A multidimensional analysis provides a detailed description of the linguistic patterns of undergraduate writing. The findings presented in this book will be of interest to teachers of writing, instructors of English for Academic Purposes (EAP), and researchers of university writing. 04 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/scl.117.png 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027215000.jpg 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027215000.tif 06 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/scl.117.hb.png 07 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/scl.117.png 25 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/scl.117.hb.png 27 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/scl.117.hb.png 10 01 JB code scl.117.toc v x 6 Table of contents 1 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Table of contents</TitleText> 10 01 JB code scl.117.lof xi xiv 4 Miscellaneous 2 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">List of figures</TitleText> 10 01 JB code scl.117.lot xv xviii 4 Miscellaneous 3 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">List of tables</TitleText> 10 01 JB code scl.117.c1 1 33 33 Chapter 4 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 1.
