Abstract Second language writing has been variously described as a field, as an interdiscipline, and a transdiscipline. Not only are these characterizations of second language writing inaccurate; they are also precarious, fostering an intellectual climate in which other theories and practices emerge as substitutes. In fact, SLW acts as if it were a discipline, so the label discipline makes sense epistemologically and practically. Owning a disciplinary identity strengthens SLW’s theoretical and practical claims and supports researchers, practitioners, graduate students, and above all, multilingual writers.

第二语言写作的学科认同

摘要 第二语言写作被不同地描述为一个领域、一个跨学科和一个跨学科。这些对第二语言写作的描述不仅不准确；它们也是不稳定的，营造了一种知识氛围，在这种氛围中，其他理论和实践会作为替代品出现。事实上，SLW 就像一门学科，所以标签学科在认识论和实践上都是有意义的。拥有学科身份加强了 SLW 的理论和实践主张，并支持研究人员、从业人员、研究生，尤其是多语言作家。
