Abstract The trend towards the democratisation and sharing of academic research has brought about numerous changes in the type and number of genres researchers have to navigate. One recent addition to the palette of university genres is the Three Minute Thesis presentation (3 MT). The primary purpose of this article is to identify the principal features of 3 MT presentations and examine the recontextualisation strategies that doctoral students need in order to adapt their research to the non-specialist 3 MT audience. Basing our study on a corpus of 30 presentations in the sciences and humanities, our analysis of these recontextualisation strategies is divided into two main categories: a) strategies to tailor the scientific information to the audience's knowledge base, focussing on the rhetorical structure and the explanatory strategies used to make the topic comprehensible, and b) strategies to engage the audience's interest using various personalisation and interactional strategies as well as attention-getting devices such as catchy titles, pictures and jokes. Results suggest that 3 MTs possess a very stable cluster of features, with their own rhetorical strategies, register, and overall generic structure. The article ends with a discussion of the impact of some modern societal and media trends on 3 MTs.

三分钟论文演讲：博士研究中的再语境化策略

摘要 学术研究民主化和共享的趋势导致研究人员必须导航的类型和数量发生了许多变化。最近添加到大学流派调色板的一项是三分钟论文演示 (3 MT)。本文的主要目的是确定 3 MT 演示的主要特征，并检查博士生需要的重新语境化策略，以使他们的研究适应非专业 3 MT 受众。基于我们对科学和人文学科 30 个演讲的语料库的研究，我们对这些重新语境化策略的分析分为两大类：a) 根据受众的知识库定制科学信息的策略，关注用于使主题易于理解的修辞结构和解释策略，以及 b) 使用各种个性化和互动策略以及吸引注意力的手段（如引人入胜的标题、图片和笑话）来吸引观众兴趣的策略。结果表明，3 个 MT 拥有非常稳定的特征集群，具有自己的修辞策略、语域和整体通用结构。文章最后讨论了一些现代社会和媒体趋势对 3 MT 的影响。有自己的修辞策略、语域和整体通用结构。文章最后讨论了一些现代社会和媒体趋势对 3 MT 的影响。有自己的修辞策略、语域和整体通用结构。文章最后讨论了一些现代社会和媒体趋势对 3 MT 的影响。
