Abstract

The theme of identity has been researched extensively in the past twenty years and continues to be a significant topic to be researched inside the flied of applied linguistics (Burr, 2003; Charon, 1998; Hall, 2002; Norton, 2000, 2013; Vieira, 2016; 2018). Oddly, bilingual writers engaged in professional academic writing rarely verbalize the processes they apply when writing. In this article, we make use of multiple academic conversations and written interview data to propose an important adaptation to a conceptual model that reflects the complexities experienced by professional bilingual academic writers when involved in the act of writing. Furthermore, the data sheds light on the difficulties of geographical transition in writing, as well as the mobility of literacy.
