Text of Note
square analysis of L1 and L2 articles indicated L2 writers significant underuse of first person pronouns in AL, while in ME and MED their difference was not found to be significant. Also, according to the results of functional analysis, in AL and MED, L2 writers projected higher level of authorial identity than L1 writers, while in ME it was vice versa.

Authorial identity is one aspect of writer identity which projects writers authority and confidence in the evaluations and commitments of their ideas. The most visible manifestation of authorial identity is the use of first person pronouns and their corresponding determiners. L2 writers often fail to use these forms appropriately to express an effective authorial presence in their writings because of the cultural differences between their L1 and L2. Therefore, this study aimed to compare and contrast the use and functions of first person pronouns in L1 and L2 research articles of Applied Linguistics (AL), Mechanical Engineering (ME), and Medicine (MED) in order to highlight both interdisciplinary and intercultural differences. To this end, 90 research articles, 45 L1 and 45 L2, were analyzed. The results of interdisciplinary comparison through Chi.
