Academic writing can be a long journey, especially when it comes to complex texts, like for example a PhD thesis. In my lecture, I will discuss some insights from writing research that are meant to provide anchor points for reflecting different perceptions (and challenges) in specific writing situations as well as their underlying patterns: Which factors determine a writing situation? And which factors influence what we do in the specific situation? I will present a writing process model that derived from my research on professional multilingual writing in the research project PROSIMS (Professionelles Schreiben in mehreren Sprachen). Additionally, I will provide some results from the writing research project PROSIMS, concerning writing strategies and the application of multilingual language resources during the writing process.
Sabine Dengscherz works at the Centre of Translation Studies (CTS) at the University of Vienna. She is a “habilitated” researcher and university lecturer in the fields of Transcultural Communication, Writing Research, German as a Foreign/Second Language and Multilingualism. In her FWF-funded project she explored writing processes in a mixed-method design; analysing them as complex systems with multifactorial interrelations and individual as well as situational variation. Before, she conducted a study on multilingualism among students and teachers at the CTS (2013/14).
