摘要：This study examines the degree of writer/reader visibility in argumentative academic essays written by university-level Japanese learners. Previous studies by Petch-Tyson (1998) and Cobb (2003) concluded that non-native English speaker writing contains far more personal involvement than equivalent native English speaker writing and tends to resemble spoken language as a result. Echoing the findings of these previous studies, this study’s findings show that academic essays written by Japanese learners contain far more writer/reader visibility features than similar native English speaker writing. In addition to these quantitative differences are several important qualitative differences that distinguish writer visibility in academic writing produced by native and nonnative English speakers.
