“…They developed their ideas in this move in several paragraphs before moving to the next move. Move 1 dominates their background and this is similar to the result of Afrizon, Arsyad, and Zahrida (2018) that in their study Move 1 also dominates the introduction sections. Tarvirdizdeh and Nimehchisalem (2021) also have similar findings that the highest frequency in the occurrence of moves is Move 1.…”

Rhetorical moves in academic writing are interesting topics and strategic issues in linguistics. Many studies have investigated the moves in all sections of research articles for example abstract, introduction, research method, findings and discussion, and conclusion. However, few studies investigated the rhetorical moves found in vocational college students’ academic writing, particularly in a background section. Therefore, this current research was aimed at revealing the rhetorical moves and patterns in the background of the study. This study analyzed 29 background sections from final project reports of vocational college students enrolled in the English study program of one of the state polytechnics in Indonesia. The reports were developed based on two major areas namely tourism and journalism. The data were analyzed by referring to the CARS model by Swales (2004). This research revealed that Move 1 and Move 3 occurred in all background sections. However, Move 2 was not used in several background sections although Step 1 in Move 2 is obligatory. Regarding the rhetorical patterns, seven patterns were found with different frequencies. The most used pattern was M1-M3S1. The current study may give implications to pedagogical settings related to the emphasis on establishing a niche in the background section.

“…Among these, the 1990 version has gained the most widespread acceptance and was deemed the most popular for analyzing moves. Though certain studies have utilized Swales' frameworks to discern the rhetorical structure of introductions, their attention has been directed toward various academic fields, such as computer science (Ebrahimi & Weisi, 2019), law (Afrizon & Arsyad, 2018), economics (Slaim & Mostari, 2019), forestry (Joseph et al, 2014), etc. Rarely has the study of move analysis in RAIs been conducted in the area of applied linguistics.…”

Serving as a fundamental opening section, the research article introduction (RAI) provides an entrance to a certain topic in the exploration of the unknown content of the research. It is a manifestation of rhetorical maneuver and establishes the context, identifies the challenges, and outlines the rationale for the study. Therefore, it is vital to make a well-crafted RAI to catch readers’ attention. However, the disparities in rhetorical moves employed in English linguistics RAIs between non-Scopus-indexed and Scopus-indexed journals have received less scrutiny. The present study aims to investigate the rhetorical move structures in both types of corpora. The non-Scopus and Scopus corpus each contained 50 RAIs. Based on the adapted Swales’ (1990) Create-A-Research-Space (CARS) model, the occurrence frequency of moves and steps was first analyzed, and the relationship between the frequency of moves and steps and the indexing of journals was then explored. The findings showed that the most frequent move in both corpora was Move 1, followed by Move 3 and Move 2. However, the higher number of overall moves in the non-Scopus corpus suggested that there was an overuse of moves by the less experienced writers, and through Chi-square, Move 3 Step 1B (announcing present research) was detected to have a significant relationship with the indexing of journals. The findings of this study pave the way for writers to construct well-organized RAIs and get their papers published in the field of linguistics.

“…While there are many studies on corpus that have been focusing on moves analysis, the hot pick of the studies is mostly on research articles. Among the parts of research article that were analysed by various researchers are the abstract (Alharbi, 2021;Kosasih, 2018;Noorizadeh-Honami & Chalak, 2018), the introduction (Afrizon et. al., 2019), the result and discussion section (Suherdi et.…”

Understanding the differences in communication styles is becoming increasingly important in business communication as more companies expand their operations to include local and international operations. The purpose of this article is to compare the structural moves employed in the Singaporean and Malaysian promotional genres from the standpoint of moves analysis and comparison. Argument arises on the similarity and dissimilarity of business discourses involving the features of genres between these two neighbouring countries. As a result, a structural linguistics analysis was conducted in order to investigate the variations in communicative purposes as well as the lexical frequency of the sales emails that were written. The comparison between Singaporean sales promotional letter and Malaysian sales emails moves is based on Bhatia's (1993) Singaporean sales promotional letter moves. According to Bhatia's sales letter framework, there are seven moves, whereas in this study, seven moves were identified in Sales Inquiry Emails and nine moves were identified in Sales Reply Emails. Furthermore, Bhatia (1993) classified the moves into two categories: those that were required and those that were optional, based on their frequency of appearance in the text. In terms of communicative patterns, the similarities and differences between the two texts and their respective contexts were discovered. The difference between Singaporean and Malaysian languages, for example, can be explained by the fact that the distribution and sequence of moves differ between the two languages.
