“…As noted, the Results unit was generally missing. Concerning text organization, Salager-Meyer (1990) states that a well-structured abstract in the Medical field not only constitutes four basic structural units, but it also follows a logical ordering of I-M-R-D sequence. Only three abstracts in this study included a different linear sequence, which were [MIRD], [IDM], and [MID].…”

“…Another criterion for building the corpus of the study was that the abstract had to be written in one paragraph. All the RA abstracts constituted of one paragraph in order to avoid conceptual overlapping among paragraphs (Salager-Meyer, 1990). …”

“…(#24) Abstract #24 presents the purpose up-front before situating the study by giving some background information on the topic. The frequency of these non-linear move patterns raises questions about Salager-Meyer's [11] claim that for an abstract to be well structured, it is necessary that the moves are sequenced in one logically linear order (I-M-R-D, or in our case I-P-M-R-D).…”

“…Salager-Meyer [11] (as cited in Hyland [12]) asserts that a well-structured abstract should involve all four structural units (introduction-methods-results-conclusions) in a linear order. But is this really so?…”

“…15, Nº 2, 1999 (269-288) interés. Es por esta razón que este tipo de texto ha sido ampliamente investigado, analizándose aspectos tan disímiles como rasgos lingüísticos (Gopnik, 1972), la estructura discursiva del texto (Graetz, 1985;Harvey, 1986;Day, 1988;Gartland, 1993), la forma y función de los abstracts en las áreas científicas (Salager-Meyer, 1990, 1991, 1992, la percepción de los lectores sobre la calidad de los abstracts (Gibson, 1993), y la relación entre características lingüísticas y éxito o fracaso de los abstracts (Faber, 1996).Sin embargo, la mayoría de las investigaciones realizadas hasta el presente se ha centrado principalmente en los abstracts que anteceden un artículo de investigación ya publicado y no en los abstracts que aparecen en los libros de resúmenes de un congreso o un evento científico, los cuales sólo recientemente has recibido atención por parte de los investigadores. Es útil enfatizar que los resúmenes de investigación para congresos tienen como propósito no sólo condensar la información más importante de un estudio, sino también despertar la curiosidad e interés de otros investigadores, además de persuadirlos de la importancia de una investigación determinada.…”
