摘要：
The study surveys the frequency of first person plural pronouns in single-authored scientific articles using a self-made corpus. The referential meaning and pragmatic function of the pronouns are analysed. The results indicate that first person plural pronouns in most cases are used as inclusive reference. Using first person plurals then may draw the reader closer in terms of communicative effect and reveals the author's awareness and strategy of communication.
