Rhetorical structure of biochemistry research articles

Choice and Use of Context Frames to Augment the Writing of Result and Discussion Section of Research Articles across Four Disciplines

“…Such an employment could be based on the intention of writer to point out the soundness of findings. Kanoksilapatham (2005) opines that this discourse function helps to make a petition for consideration of the findings of the current study as a part of the consensual knowledge of the disciplinary community.…”

“…This strategy helps in justifing the procedure, objectives or assumptions of the research. It also helps writers in claiming generalisability of research findings (Holmes 1997, Kanoksilapatham 2005. The greater use of the validation CF in CE result and discussion section could be discipline specific as these writers could be more governed by the belief that their findings in its own may not convincingly speak for themselves.…”

“…The greater use of the validation CF in CE result and discussion section could be discipline specific as these writers could be more governed by the belief that their findings in its own may not convincingly speak for themselves. Thus, it would prudent in order to convince the community members to situate their results with this CF to assure the members about the soundness of their arguments, for instance, that stated in the methodology section from which the results were obtained (Kanoksilapatham 2005).…”

TESOL Conference Abstracts: Discrepancies between Potential Writers‘ Knowledge and Actual Composition

“…Swales (1981) defines a rhetorical move as a text segment that not only performs a specific communicative function of its own but also contributes to the overall communicative purpose of the genre. However, previous studies have used different criteria for move identification; namely, the function-based approach (Kwan 2006), the form-based approach (Anderson & Maclean 1997) and a combined approach of function and form (Kanoksilapatham 2005, Swales 1990). While the function-based approach can be criticised for its subjectivity and the form-based approach is not in accordance with the concept of move, the combined approach has been found faulty with its logical fallacy of circular reasoning (Paltridge 1994).…”

La resolución de problema como género académico evaluativo: Organización retórica y uso de artefactos multimodales

“…El objetivo principal de esta investigación es describir la organización retórica de este género desde la perspectiva de las 'movidas retóricas' (Swales, 2004) y con variables predefinidas provenientes, fundamentalmente, desde los estudios de género (Swales, 1990(Swales, , 2004Bazerman, 1994;Bazerman & Prior, 2003;Bhatia, 2002;Parodi, 2008). La metodología contempla el análisis de los segmentos textuales mediante procedimiento inductivos y deductivos lo que implica que se complementaron tanto categorías teóricas predefinidas como también los rasgos que fueron emergiendo desde el corpus (Kanoksilapatham, 2005;Biber, Connor & Upton, 2007;Parodi, 2008). Entre los principales resultados destaca la identificación de cinco movidas: Planteamiento de Problema, Delimitación del Problema, Modelamiento del Problema, Resolución del Modelo y Resultados.…”
