Abstract
It seems obvious that there are some differences in the writing traditions among the university students all around the world. It can be attributed to different identity, ethnic, race as well as benefiting from various cultural backgrounds. Generally, culture is believed to be transmitted through language. Academic writing as a genre of language widely exploited by the students all over the world is not excluded from this rule. Written language is an attempt to communicate with the reader. A writer has an intention or purpose, as well as information to convey. Thus, the current study gives some enlightenment on the different cultural schemata utilized by the native speakers of Persian (NSP) in writing their dissertation acknowledgments. The findings revealed some interesting Persian culture-based themes in this part of academic writing. As a whole, it can be concluded that domestic culture is present in all aspects of human life even in the realm of academic writing.
