Academic writing

Un interessante articolo sul perché la prosa degli accademici sia così poco comprensibile.
"Academic writing and research may be knotty and strange, remote and insular, technical and specialized, forbidding and clannish—but that’s because academia has become that way, too. Today’s academic work, excellent though it may be, is the product of a shrinking system. It’s a tightly-packed, super-competitive jungle in there. ..." Joshua Rothman, newyorker.
