Summary/Abstract: Abstracts are the requirement for publishing academic papers. They also provide a summary of what the ensuing paper is about. They are also often the reason why a paper is read or discarded as irrelevant by a particular reader. This paper provides analysis of the wording of abstracts contained in a randomly chosen journal published by the Faculty of Law in Split. What emerges are the linguistic discourse issues in academic discourse when authors of a non- English-speaking background are required to produce an abstract in English of their professional paper which will hopefully be published. Issues for further research are also mentioned.
