Annotation

This study explores the sociolinguistic repertory and writing practices of a Swedish computer scientist and his first-time feat of pioneering genres. As the usage of written computerese Swedish lacks historical grounding in his discipline's social practices, he interprets type and token interdiscursive connection from iconic Swedish and English texts and from former discursive occasions of employing academic Swedish orally.
