INTRODUCTION
Another illuminating title of the Open Linguistics Series, Analysing Academic Writing, first published in 2004, was released in 2005 in a paperback edition, certainly more accessible to scholars. The editors, Louise A. Ravelli and Robert A. Ellis, put together a collection of 14 articles covering 280 pages.

OVERVIEW
All the articles contain common threads that give thick theoretical cohesion to the volume. There is, firstly, a common debt to the Systemic Functional framework, although this varies in centrality in each individual author and article. That the overwhelming number of contributions are from the United Kingdom and Australia is no doubt due to the lively position of this tradition in those areas. Regardless of the theoretical framework and methodology, all articles assume and explore the unavoidable bidirectional relation between text and context.
