An academic text is given to present specific and reliable information about an area of knowledge (science, humanities, arts) based on a research of empirical experimentation. Short definition for big reasonings. Please feel free to comment.
I think that you're just considering scientific texts, those that only consider reliable what can be proved by experimentation. So I do not really agree with your definition, because I can write an essay or an article for a journal, based on my personal experience in teaching English, and I would say that my article is an academic text, as a result of a systematic research and even if I'm not aproved by a scientific community.
Professor, we all know how wise you are. Please, forgive our ignorance but I think that your definition can produce misunderstandings, so you should be more friendly. We are but pebbles trying to be mountains as you are. By the way, what are you smoking with that pipe?
So-called "Professor": Maybe you haven't seen that you couldn't address your audience the way you wanted. I can tell you that is normal when a writer can't make his point clearly. It is possible that you did not even understand what you wrote, because for me what I understood was clear; let me tell you: I do know how to read!. Don't worry you still can edit your definition. And now I understand your lastname. Thank you for being so kind with your comments, I'm waiting to hear form you soon!! Kisses too!
It´s cinnamon what I have in my pipe. yeah, just cinnamon... And please, be really careful when you read, take in mind all the elements that are given in a certain text, that way you can uderstand it the way the author wants it to be understood.
And when you don't know what else to say, just IMPROVISE!
