Abstract

The article deals with the comparative perspective on author’s self-representation in research papers in Russian and English. It presents both the results of studying recommendations on this issue from academic and scientific writing guides, and the analysis of the humanities (mainly, linguistic) research papers corpus. The study shows different means used for authorial self-reference in these texts. It claims that the authors’ choice in favor of an "impersonal" or "personal" text is associated not only with their local cultural and language codes, but also with the specifics of their individual style, their inclination to be more or less cautious in presenting their judgments.
