Abstrakt: 

Academic discourse is now generally seen as a purposeful interaction between writers and readers in which the writers try to construct a coherent and credible representation of themselves and their research and to build up a relationship with the discourse community by creating a dialogic space for negotiation and evaluation of their views. This contribution examines the interplay of some epistemic stance devices in a corpus of theses written by Czech students of English language and literature as means for expressing evaluation. In addition, it seeks to examine differences in the expression of stance in theses written in the fields of methodology, linguistics and literature and cultural studies.
