Abstract
Bu derlem temelli çalışmada farklı kültürel altyapıya sahip Amerikan ve Türk akademisyenlerin akademik çalışmalarında kendilerinden bahsetmek için sözcükleri nasıl kullandıklarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın veri seti Uygulamalı Dilbilim alan yazınından ölçüt örnekleme yoluyla seçilmiş yaklaşık 300 makaleden oluşan derlemden oluşmaktadır. Derlemden rastsal olarak seçilen 100 makale doküman analizi tekniği ile incelenerek farklı kültürden gelen akademisyenlerin kullandıkları ve yazar kimliğini yansıtan sözcükler belirlenerek yazarların bunlarla çeşitli retorik amaçları nasıl gerçekleştirdiklerini araştırılmıştır. Hyland’in (2002) metin analizi modeli kullanılarak incelenen verilerden elde edilen bulgular akademik çalışmaların tamamen yalın, yazar varlığını içermeyen ve kendinden bahsetmeyen bir yazın olmadığını, aksine yazarın akademik eserinde yazar olarak varlığını belirtmek için sözcükleri stratejik bir şekilde kullandıklarını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara dayanarak anadili İngilizce olmayan genç yazarlara öneriler sunulmaktadır.

Abstract
The purpose of this corpus-based study is to explore how academic writers from different cultural backgrounds employ authorial self-mention words in their research articles (RA). The data set of the present study comprises roughly 300 research articles, which were selected through criterion sampling method, from the field of Applied Linguistics. Randomly selected 100 articles were examined through document analysis technique in order to unearth how writers from different cultural backgrounds use authorial self-mention words to achieve a variety of rhetorical purposes. The data were analyzed using Hyland’s (2002) text analysis model. The findings reveal that the RA is not a modest, self-effacing genre, devoid of writer presence; rather it is a site where writers strategically employ authorial self-mention words and project themselves in their works. The study ends with suggestions for non-native novice writers, underscoring the need to raise (non-native) novice writers’ awareness of the strategic use of authorial self-mention words in academic writing.
