What is Disciplinary writing.
This can be described as any writing style in a certain discipline. In academics the writing could be split into three subsections which are science, humanities and business. The audience is key when understanding which discipline you are writing in and dictates what style you would like to use for a certain subject. An example might be a work on mental health and if you know who your audience would be you could know to choose a style of science or a style of humanities, whichever to improve your work for a specific audience.
What to look for when writing in a discipline.
There are steps to take in which we can assure ourselves that we are using the correct language, structure, methods and evidence for the right discipline. Depending on what discipline you are writing on, these factors are important to creating a cohesive piece of writing. Utilizing these terms correctly is important, as certain language in a scientific discipline doesn’t belong in an english paper. The structure of the paper or speech lays the groundwork for the writing and organization is key to ensure the best possible results of the work given in a certain discipline. Structuring a paper that is scientific should be structured around the evidence given by an experiment or test. As an english paper would be structured maybe around a personal experience where a personal experience would never be placed in a scientific discipline.
Ways the writing works
The methods of the work should answer questions that the reader or listener may have on the subject. The methods of a scientist getting results would be looked at and the credibility of the author with a personal experience would be looked at, and these methods should be able to answer any questions the reader/listener may have. There are crossovers of these methods in a certain way but overall tend to stick to their own disciplines. An example given by southwestern.edu is the theory that Marxism has on the way that someone may look at specific discipline and has changed both historians and literary scholars to view subjects yet they stay on their own. Each discipline has its own theories of methodology because they all answer different types of questions. The science methodology would ask something like how was the universe formed; and they would go deep into the quantum mechanics of the universe and use language to try and answer that question. The business methodology may ask how this quarter was compared to the last quarter in order to answer a question of potential revenue. The english methodology may ask how you may have felt during the civil rights movement if you were there and answer these questions through emotion in an humanistic setting. All of these take place in the universe and civil rights movement could have had an effect on business back then yet the disciplines all answer different questions that are unrelated.
Language and evidence.
It is very important to use proper language when writing in a certain discipline. Using scientific language in a strictly english discipline could be done but usually wouldn’t belong in that type of writing. The example given by the article in southwest.edu is the term of male versus men. The term male would most likely be used in a more scientific setting as men would be used in a more informal piece of writing. Another example would be the use of metaphors in a certain writing like english may be alright to use yet would not be ideal for a scientific setting. The way that a speech or writing would be in business would most likely not be passive and have a more stern professional sense of the work.
Evidence is very important when understanding the works of a discipline as well. The credibility that a writer has will definitely be scrutinized by the audience and the writer needs to show credibility in this discipline if wanting to be heard or understood in a cohesive matter. The methods in which evidence has been found is key to the audience and shows the steps in which the writer has taken to get to these conclusions. If a writer wants to talk about the sun yet the only evidence that he has looked into is stepping outside and looking at it, the audience isn’t going to believe them as much as an astrophysicist.

Ty Prewitt's blog 
I like the subtitle in the blog which separate the article into several parts, the example you use in last two paragraphs and the organization like idea-explanation- example which is clear and easy to grasp the meaning. The picture in the blog makes it looks more attractive.It seems you talk a lot on the characteristics/difference on different disciplines. I want to see more similarities between disciplines.
