What is an academic text?

There are many features that can make a text an academic one, for example, and probably the main feature that every text has is the purpose. It is said that if a text has a purpose, it becomes an academic one, but the text needs other components that support its definition as an academic text; the structure, the enunciation system, the vocabulary, the references, the research, are those components that bulid and support the definition of an academic text, and all those features have to be mentioned through the text in a formal way taking into account the type of audience and the purpose.

  1. I think this is a good explination of what a text is. Although there are certain mistakes in the writting you should correct.
