Authoring support for Spanish language writers. Revista Española de Lingüística Aplicada/Spanish Journal of Applied Linguistics, 34(2), 671–711. https://doi.org/10.1075/resla.19048.rab 0213-2028 https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/81850 10.1075/RESLA.19048.RAB 671 2 711 Revista Española de Lingüística Aplicada/Spanish Journal of Applied Linguistics 34 2254-6774 Authoring support consists of (semi)automated aids to be used at different stages during the writing process. Language information, however, tends to be restricted to areas such as spelling and grammar checking or term banks, and text construction difficulties that writers face concerning the structure of particular genres, associated sentence formulations or genre specific vocabulary have not received proper attention. An additional gap in the research is that this support is generally addressed to English language users. This paper addresses these concerns focusing on a particular genre: the company’s directors’ report, and on Spanish language writers writing in English. A custom-made monolingual corpus has been analyzed using Bhatia (1993, 2004) and Swales (1990, 2004) definitions of genre and move combined with theme characterization. Recurrent strings for each move/step, which are conventionally associated with each rhetorical unit, were identified and formulated as “meta-strings.” The bilingual glossary includes domain-specific items as well as move/step or genre-specific lexical and phraseological options, i.e., elements used irrespective of the business, places or people involved. The results are valuable by themselves, as an analysis of the genre, but also as the empirical basis for the authoring support tool that we present here, and as language training materials. spa info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ Atribución 4.0 Internacional Atribución-NoComercial 4.0 Internacional Filología Inglesa Lingüística aplicada Lingüística del corpus Traducción y herramientas de ayuda a la redacción Inglés profesional y académico Authoring support for Spanish language writers info:eu-repo/semantics/article
