讲座内容:

There has beenincreasing calls for research attention to the linguistic realizations ofrhetorical functions in academic writing among researchers in the fields ofEAP, genre analysis, and corpus linguistics. Corpus-based genre analysis holdsmuch promise for revealing systematic relationships between rhetoricalfunctions and linguistic features. This study presents a corpus-based analysisof the rhetorical functions and their linguistic realizations in social scienceresearch article introductions. The Corpus of Social Science Research ArticleIntroductions (COSSRAI) consists of the introduction sections of 600 publishedresearch articles in six social science disciplines (anthropology, appliedlinguistics, economics, political science, psychology, sociology). All samplesin the COSSRAI were annotated for rhetorical moves and steps using anextensively adapted version of the Create a Research Space (CARS) model(Swales, 2004) by a team of seven researchers. I share findings oninterdisciplinary variation in the rhetorical structure of the research article introduction sub-genre, phrase-frames aligned withdifferent rhetoric moves and steps, and the rhetorical functions ofsyntactically complex sentences. I conclude with a discussion of theimplications of our findings for academic writing pedagogy and research.
