• Resumen

  • El Inglés para Fines Académicos (IFA) constituye en la actualidad una de las sub-áreas de mayor expansión de la Lingüística Aplicada. Dentro de este campo de estudio, las investigaciones realizadas en el ámbito del Análisis del Género y la Retórica Contrastiva han resultado particularmente relevantes por su valiosa aportación en la creación de material didáctico. En el presente ensayo se hace una revisión de la evolución que ha tenido el IFA desde sus inicios y su aportación al análisis del discurso científi co. Del mismo modo, dentro del paradigma del Análisis del Género, se examina el concepto de �comunidad discursiva� y el de �género�, y la trascendencia que éstos han tenido en las investigaciones realizadas hasta el momento sobre el discurso académico en inglés, así como la importancia que han tenido los estudios de la retórica, y en particular la Retórica Contrastiva, en el desarrollo de la composición escrita y el análisis del discurso escrito en los diversos contextos académicos
