While MT/GAI can support students' learning beyond the classroom, overreliance on MT/GAI may hinder development of essential research and composition skills. Despite some research on MT/GAI's role in self-regulated learning, little is known about students' motivations for its use, and the potential mediating influences of instructional context and discipline. This study applies Self-Determination Theory to examine how autonomy, competence, and relatedness influence students' use of MT/GAI in academic writing. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study compares EAP students in an English as a Second Language context in Australia and an English as a Foreign Language context in Vietnam. An online survey validated through confirmatory factor analysis and discriminant validity testing gathered 416 responses, complemented by interviews with 17 students. Findings reveal a complex interplay between MT/GAI use and students' motivational needs. While students generally report moderate autonomy, competence, and relatedness in using MT/GAI in the survey, mixed-effects regression showed Australian students experienced lower relatedness compared with Vietnamese students, with disciplinary differences also significantly influencing students' perceptions of this construct. Interview data further highlighted diversity and complexity of students' perceptions, variation in EAP instructional approaches and peer-teacher dynamics surrounding MT/GAI. These findings support the need for contextually tailored pedagogical approaches fostering collaboration between institutions, teachers, and students, illustrated through innovations from an Australian EAP course that bridge research and practice in MT/GAI-assisted academic writing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47717,"journal":{"name":"Journal of English for Academic Purposes","volume":"78 ","pages":"Article 101578"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145049852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By employing word embeddings derived from LLMs, I constructed semantic distance matrices that provide insight into the relationships between key terms in bioethical vignettes. These matrices were used to quantify and visualize the degree of linguistic ambiguity and specificity across different versions of each vignette-those with high colexification (ambiguous language) and those with low colexification (specific language). The approach taken involves encoding words according to their semantic adjacency and representing these relationships geometrically through distance matrices. The resulting matrices reflect the nuanced differences in how concepts are related within bioethical contexts, offering a quantitative method for analysing language use. The study demonstrates that LLMs, by facilitating geometric representations of language, can enhance our understanding of complex ethical dilemmas by systematically addressing linguistic ambiguity. Ultimately, this research contributes to the field of bioethics by providing a computational approach to improving clarity in ethical communication, highlighting the potential of LLMs to inform both ethical decision-making and discourse analysis. LLMs, while not capable of performing speech acts in the full philosophical sense-as human beings do-still serve as powerful tools to analyse and understand bioethical language. This distinction-between performing speech acts and analysing their linguistic features-highlights the unique contribution of LLMs as analytical tools rather than ethical agents.</p>","PeriodicalId":50252,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bioethical Inquiry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145034542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It focuses on rhetorical and pragmatic strategies realised by metadiscourse resources enhancing audience engagement and tailoring scientific content to the consensual knowledge of the non-expert audience. Despite the recent interest in the study of recontextualisation in multimodal scientific genres, a relationship between the rhetoric, pragmatics and metadiscourse dimensions involved in the recontextualisation of expert knowledge in digital academic genres has not been established. This study undertakes to fill this gap by analysing relationships in a set of rhetorical and pragmatic strategies and metadiscourse resources involved in the recontextualisation of scientific content in <em>Current Biology</em> video abstracts. The investigation is carried out on a corpus of 20 video abstracts in the field of biology published online on the website of the journal <em>Current Biology</em> (Cell Press) in the period 2020–2023. The study contributes to our understanding of recontextualisation of specialised knowledgeby exploring the adaptation and repragmatisation of verbal and non-verbal resources and proposing a typology of biology video abstracts based on the identified strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46649,"journal":{"name":"Discourse Context & Media","volume":"68 ","pages":"Article 100938"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145049792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
