Today, the English academic genre has become dominant since English has taken over the role of academic lingua franca, and with it, its genre conventions. However, when looking at texts written by FL English writers in international journals or books, one often notices the specific colouring and references to their native academic genre. For example, in English texts written by French, Spanish or German native speakers, one finds a stronger tendency for digressions and hedging than in the texts of L1 English writers. These writers tend to build more complicated and more embedded sentences in order to integrate more content into them. Often, more than one topic is discussed in one paragraph etc. In texts written by Arabic writers, the topic is often not discussed directly. On the contrary, the analysis in some passages appears only indirectly related to the main topic to a Western European or American reader. This phenomenon is analysed more closely in texts written by German FL English writers. One notices that both Anglophone and German academic text features are combined, generating a new variance of the academic genre. It is proposed that since phenomena like this occur rather frequently in the international academic context, a new academic genre might arise incorporating different features from different academic contexts. This academic genre might be a genre franca, (hopefully) resulting in a much more fruitful international exchange than nowadays, when a great number of academic articles are rejected because of not coinciding with the English genre.
