Resumo
[Abstract] It is now widely accepted that knowledge is negotiated and negotiation implies involvement on the part of both readers and writers. Since there seems to be some connection between involvement and stancetaking (Freeman et al. 2014: 1), it seems reasonable to argue that both of them have some relationship with knowledge negotiation. This paper aims at exploring how authorial presence is manifested in late Modern English scientific writing in the use of first person pronouns as involvement and, therefore, stance makers. The influence of variables such as subjectmatter and sex will be analysed in order to ascertain to what extent they make that such linguistic feature is more or less frequently used by authors. In order to ascertain how different disciplinary discourse communities behave, texts from three different scientific fields written both by men and women will be scrutinised. The samples are the ones contained in the Corpus of English Texts on Astronomy (CETA), the Corpus of English Philosophy Texts (CEPhiT), and the Corpus of History English Texts (CHET), all of them subcorpora of the Coruña Corpus of English Scientific Writing.
