What is it about?
The paper reveals that, although scientific texts are said to be objective and detached, the author can be traced in them. In this oarticular case, we show that there is some kind of dialogue between the author and their readers in two different corpora: The late Modern English Medical Taxts corpus and the Corpus of English Chemistry Texts (CECheT).

Why is it important?
This contribution is relavant in that it shows how the relation reader-writer was established in scientific texts in the late Modern English period.
Perspectives
I hope this paper will help researchers view the history of "technical" wriring (scientific discourse, academic English and ESP in gneral) as an area of study deserving some more dedication.
