The current research explores the linguistic identity of Pakistani Academic writing register of Research Articles. Previous quantitative works on Pakistani academic writing have been insufficient due to unrepresentative data and lack of internal and external comparison. This study discovers the language of Pakistani research articles as an academic writing register by investigating the statistically significant linguistic variation among the disciplines of Pakistani Research articles, using Biber’s (1988) five textual dimensions. The results of the study exhibit Pakistani academic research articles language as highly impersonal, non-persuasive, explicit, nonnarrative and informational.

“…Much of this research, which has spanned decades, stems from projects on academic literacy in Australian primary and secondary schools led by the University of Sydney (Martin 1986(Martin , 1991(Martin , 1993Martin & Rose 2008;Shea 1988;Taylor 1979;Wignell et al 1989). Research into tertiary textbooks has confirmed these findings (Yang 2017) and extended its focus to aspects such as knowledge attribution (Moore 2002;Freddi 2005) and disciplinary variation in epistemological stance (Parodi 2014). While these studies cover a wide range of disciplines, to the best of my knowledge, with the exception of one corpus study on word frequency (Mukundan & Jin 2012;Fairus Nor Mohamad & Jin 2013) and a number of studies from a critical discourse analysis perspective (Bond 2012;Price-Glynn & Missari 2017), there are no studies on the language of nursing textbooks to date.…”

Given the pressing issues that affect nursing education (e.g. higher attrition and plagiarism rates), this study aims to obtain initial insight on whether nursing textbooks meet the demands of their context of situation. These demands could be listed as: construing biomedical knowledge, establishing a pattern of evidence-based nursing practice and promoting the values of person-centred care. For this analysis, I draw on aspects of parameters of context developed by Hasan (2004), Butt (2004) and Matthiessen (2015), and relate them to their semantic and lexicogrammatical realisation across different metafunctions using corpus-based techniques and detailed manual analysis of short extracts. The results may suggest that nursing textbooks may be meeting the demands of nursing as a research-based discipline but failing to model empathetic communication.

However, there seems to be a gap with regard to the application of politeness framework to written discourse analysis in the area of foreign language teacher education, and methodology textbooks in particular.…”
