Persuasive language is described as the language of power as its use permits a person to participate and access power in democratic societies. The teaching and learning of the persuasive discourse are, therefore, "a democracy sustaining approach to education" (Hess, 2009, p. 5). However, English Language Learners (ELLs) often encounter difficulties in understanding the complexity of the persuasive language. The present research aims to investigate the linguistic complexity of persuasive writing across the essays and within the generic phases of argumentative essays written by Pakistani learners. In this regard, the register variable field analysis proposed by the phases of argumentative essays. Hence, it is reasonable to assume that Pakistani learners are unaware of the field-related linguistic features required to enhance the persuasion according to their generic phases as also mentioned by . Finally, the findings of this paper will guide English language teachers and learners about the explicit usage of the persuasive writing choices needed to create persuasive texts.

The publication of Halliday and Hasan (1976) invoked the notion of cohesionin texts among discourse analysts. Drawing on this fundamental study, researchers have been exploring cohesion in both monologic and dialogic discourses of different languages (Taboada, 2004; Angermeyer, 2002), genres (Tanskanen, 2006; Hoey, 2005), and registers (Hasan, 1984; Hoey, 1991). The focus of this study was to examine lexical cohesion in abstracts of research articles from the Applied Linguistics. The study aimed to: (1) identify the types and frequencies of lexical ties utilized in writing Applied Linguistics research articles abstracts, and (2) examine how the lexical ties utilized in writing Applied Linguistics research article abstracts contribute to the coherence of the abstracts. The research approach was both quantitative and qualitative, and abstracts of 40 research articles from Discourse Analysis, Critical Discourse analysis, Contrastive Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition were sampled. The data were culled from online data bases and had a total of 7,660 words. The study employed Halliday and Hasan's (1976) lexical cohesion framework. The analysis revealed 754 lexical ties intersententially, where Repetition (54%) was the most preponderant, followed by Collocation(14%) and hyponymy (11%). The data also demonstrated that lexical cohesion contributes tremendously in the propositional development of all the move structures typical of research article abstract as a genre also used in the Applied Linguistics. To conclude, the researcher drew attention to the need for studies of this nature across disciplines.

One of the most significant and yet often overlooked challenges for university students is decoding what their instructors expect from their assignments. Better understanding those expectations and the vocabulary and grammar needed to achieve them are the motivations behind this investigation. Eleven experienced instructors within an Australian university were interviewed about their motivations for assigning certain genres and their expectations when marking those assignments. This interview data informed the second stage, a linguistic analysis of student assignments. The analysis primarily focused on the occurrence of grammatical metaphor (GM), a powerful linguistic resource within academic discourse. The aim was to better understand what role, if any, GM plays in achieving the genre expectations identified in the instructor interviews. The analysis revealed how GM enabled the successful texts to be structured in ways the instructors valued. The paper concludes with pedagogical recommendations to ensure students are able to meet their instructors’ expectations.

O artigo foca-se na análise de textos do gênero acadêmico Mínima Onomástica, publicados na Rivista Italiana di Onomastica (RIOn). Este gênero, que é novo e não foi ainda descrito no âmbito da Linguística do Texto e do Discurso, tem como principal objetivo apresentar reflexões ou resultados sobre um tópico ou objeto de estudo delimitado da Onomástica. Por meio da aplicação do modelo CARS, ancorado na teorização de Swales (1990, 2004) e na adaptação de Bunton (2002), foi analisada a estrutura composicional de um corpus constituído por 18 textos, sendo dezesseis redigidos em italiano, um em inglês e um em catalão. Dos exemplares estudados, dois passos do modelo CARS (a indicação do tema e a apresentação dos resultados) destacaram-se pela prevalência em todos os textos analisados. Além disso, o passo relativo à contextualização foi identificado na maioria dos textos. Os resultados obtidos permitem sistematizar as principais propriedades retórico-estruturais do gênero Mínima Onomástica e confirmam a sua capacidade de divulgar descobertas, contribuindo para a difusão e o avanço do conhecimento no campo da Onomástica.

Viewed in the social context, academic writing is considered a site where both writers and readers are engaged in an interactive mode of presentation and evaluation of information. Male and female writers may differently exemplify the interactive mode of presenting and evaluating information through meta-discourse markers. The current research paper aims to explore the role of gender in the use of hedges and boosters in research dissertations of Pakistani M.Phil graduates particularly concerning disciplinary variation. For this purpose, the taxonomy Hyland's (2005) meta-discourse markers are used to identify the lists of hedges and boosters. A corpus consisting of one hundred research dissertations representing humanities, social sciences and sciences is developed, and further tagged with Antconc 3.3.4 to find out the frequencies and instances of hedges and boosters in male and female academic writing. The results reveal that overall hedges have been found as the more preferred meta-discourse markers than boosters in the academic discourse of Pakistani MPhil graduates. Females are more inclined towards the use of hedges, whereas, males are prone to the use of boosters in the presentation of academic discourse. The study has pedagogical implications for the writing practices of both students as well as supervisors.

This study investigates academic writing tutors’ perceptions of their students’ performance and compares it with an analysis of first-year science students’ academic writing. Specifically, it examines the challenges tutors perceive students to face when writing in academic contexts and then explores the linguistics resources students choose when writing in a scientific academic context. To achieve this aim, two sets of data were collected: tutor interviews and students’ texts. The data from the tutor interviews was analysed to reveal academic writing tutors’ perceptions of their students’ academic writing abilities and challenges. The students’ texts were then analysed to examine how effectively students make meanings valued in scientific contexts. To examine students’ texts, Systemic Functional Linguistic analysis is employed; specifically, the study examines the ideational meanings (i.e., experiential and textual meanings) and textual meanings within the texts. The findings reveal that the students of science face some linguistics challenges across both the Lexico- Grammar (e.g., under-using more valued specialised and technical entities; overusing less valued logical relations) and the Discourse Semantics (e.g., thematic progression). The data also show that there is some alignment between tutors’ perceptions of students’ writing development and their actual writing performance (e.g., lack of lexical variation and cohesion across the text). The study concludes with a discussion proposing the most critical areas for instructional intervention to focus to assist students in overcoming these linguistic challenges.

In attempts to find appropriate and authentic materials for students who are developing their academic writing skills, instructors often turn to works written by professional academics. However, genres such as published research articles and textbooks in specific disciplines may not be the most suitable models for what first year composition writers are expected to produce. This article suggests using a corpus of successful student writing across disciplines as a more appropriate and more realistic model for lower-level writing students. It describes a first year reading and writing course (taught at an American liberal arts college by the first author of this article) that incorporates the Michigan Corpus of Upper-level Student Papers (MICUSP) in helping students become ethnographers of disciplines and genres. As lower-level university students explore disciplines and narrow down their desired fields of study, MICUSP is used as a source of data from which students can (1) conduct l...

Stance-taking in academic writing plays a crucial role in enabling tertiary academic writers to express their positions about their topics and other voices. Based on a corpus linguistic analysis of academic reports by civil and environmental engineering (CEE) undergraduate students and student papers in the Michigan Corpus of Upper-Level Student Papers (MICUSP), this article investigates the use of stance markers in the genres of persuasive and argumentative writing as well as analytical explanatory writing. This study compares the stance markers used by L2 engineering students (Hong Kong University) and native engineering students (U.S. University) to investigate the genre-specific lexical stance patterns used by academic writers. This study found that stance within the CEE reports and MICUSP was expressed through approximative hedges and boosters, code glosses, and adversative and contrast connections, pointing to a specific developmental trajectory as academic writers. Non-native engineering students were found to use a significantly smaller number of approximative, self-mention, and evidential verb hedges. In addition, they tend to use a more significant number of modal hedges compared to native English speakers. The CEE students' reports also tended to be characterized by the underuse of boosters, contrastive connectors, emphasis, and counter-expectancy markers. However, the study found no significant difference in the use of exemplification markers between the CEE and MICUSP. The findings of this study support the construction of the academic stance as a process of delimiting one's perspective. This is achieved by deploying selected stance features to account for other scholarly perspectives.

Exemplification and reformulation are key elaborative strategies that empower clarity and argumentation in academic writing. Most research investigating their use in academic writing argues that writers' choices in terms of frequency and marker type are conditioned by disciplinary variations and the level of expertise of the writers. This has led to an understanding of discourse communities as being homogeneous groups of novice versus expert writers and of separate soft versus hard disciplines. Through the analysis of 90 research articles and book chapters singleauthored by six leading linguists, this study shows that these successful authors deviate from the common practices in linguistics and their choices deviate from each other significantly. However, the data does not reveal any steady increasing or decreasing frequencies in the use of exemplification and reformulation throughout their career stages, which makes it hard to claim that the frequency of using the two discourse functions evolves with experience. The study argues that individuality and style preferences within the same discourse community should be acknowledged as an additional variable affecting discursive choices and calls for a more nuanced understanding of disciplinarity and writing expertise.

The publication rate of Indonesian academics in reputable international journals is far below those of neighbouring countries. This is because Indonesian academics are not familiar with the appropriate rhetorical style of English research articles although they can write academic texts in English reasonably well. This study investigated the rhetorical problems experienced by Indonesian lecturers in social sciences and humanities when writing research articles for international journals. In this study, all sections (abstract, introduction, methods, results and discussion) of research article drafts written by Indonesian academics were analysed based on their rhetorical styles following the models suggested by Swales (1990, 2004), Swales and Feak (2009), Lim (2006), and Peacock (2011). The results show that Indonesian authors have significant rhetorical problems in writing the introduction, results and discussion sections but few problems with writing abstracts and the methods section...

This paper refers to face and face-work to account for the ways in which academic authors strive to satisfy the need to establish their credibility as experts in the field, to present their research as a valuable addition to the existing knowledge, and to confirm their status as insiders – experienced members of the academic discourse community – in introductions to English-language linguistics articles. It relates the concern for face to the revised Create-a-Research-Space (CARS) model [John Swales, Genre Analysis, Cambridge: CUP, 1990] of rhetorical moves to better understand the choices the authors make in order to indicate a gap in the existing knowledge, to announce how their research intends to fi ll it in, and, in effect, to produce a publishable text. In particular, it examines references to other scholars and their research and explicit comments on the author’s own work and experience in 50 journal article introductions. The presented strategies are evidence of a dialogue t...

The present investigation proposes that the nominalization index (the ratio of nouns to verbs in a given text) successfully predicts the academic-scientific character of a text. The results of a computer-assisted analysis of a 12.7 million word corpus show that this index is sensitive to the opposition between scientific/academic texts and letters to the editor/journalistic texts. It is likewise sensitive to the differences between applied sciences, natural sciences, social sciences and humanities texts, although there is a certain amount of overlap between these last two. When contrasting expert and novice texts, the index is only sensitive in the case of applied and natural sciences. It is suggested that the greater relative occurrence of nouns could be related to the construction of an object-centric depersonalized discourse in which the vicissitudes of actors' mental processes are believed to be irrelevant in the interpretation of discourse-coherence relationships.

In various academic and professional writing genres, argumentation skills are considered essential. Writing an argument is an integral part of academic writing and indicates the proficiency of a student's language skills. It is more complex than other language skills because writing skills measure one's ability to use language. It is essential that students develop argumentation skills to succeed in academics and their social lives, as these skills are manifestations of higher-order thinking and critical thinking. The present study aimed to investigate argumentation elements in essays written by Pakistani undergraduate students based on the Toulmin model (1958, 2003). The research adopted a quantitative approach. For the selection of essays, a total population sampling was used. The adapted tool for this study is comprised of six elements (claim, data, counterargument claim, counterargument data, rebuttal claim, and rebuttal data). The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. The data used by the students was correctly cited, and the most frequent type of data was the daily practice in both sectors. The least frequent data type in the public sector were personal experience, laws for women's protection, quotations from scholars, constitutional articles, and laws for women's protection in the private sector. Results revealed that students in both private and public sector universities used all six Toulmin elements when writing argumentative essays. Several pedagogical implications can be drawn from the results of the study. This article stresses the importance of argumentative skills in writing to make students' writing logical and persuasive.

Legal discourse has long been classified among those genres that defy generic changes the most (Gocić 2012). Recently, however, hybrid legal genres have been challenging this generic stability by imposing their own norms to coin a novel kind of 'legal culture' (Goźdź-Roszkowski 2011: 11). The law review article is a case in point for it combines both legal and academic standards of writing which make it "far richer in intertextuality and interdiscursivity" (Bhatia 2006: 6) than the traditional set of legal genres. This generic subversion can be traced in the lexico-grammatical choices made by the authors to turn their papers into influential legal sources rather than mere descriptions of the law. In this context, this study aspires to scrutinize the use of adverbial clauses as one specific lexico-grammatical choice in a corpus of 44 accredited law review papers with the aim of showing how this hybrid genre strives to evolve beyond the stagnation of what is termed 'language of the law'. Specifically, a Systemic Functional Linguistics analysis of the semantic, structural and thematic uses of these structures is conducted to demonstrate how the hybridity of contexts in a single genre can make for unprecedented generic breaches. The quantitative and qualitative analyses revealed an uneven distribution of adverbial patterns in favor of non-finite purpose and finite condition, concession and reason clauses. Additionally, the positional distribution of these patterns is manipulated whenever the need arises to hedge claims as a form of allegiance to the communal demands of the law and academia. These choices are found to comply with the authors' needs to balance both legal and academic rituals of writing while observing at the same time their personal needs to be highly acclaimed as legal scholars and to "publish or perish" (Christensen & Oseid 2008: 1).

Spezialisierungs-und parallel dazu verlaufende Globalisierungsprozesse produzieren in den verschiedenen Wissenschaftsdisziplinen immer mehr Wissen-die Zahl fachspezifischer, fächerübergreifender und popularisierender Publikationen wächst. Der Wettbewerb um neue wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse führt zudem zu einem enormen Publikationsdruck für Fachwissenschaftler und den wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs, da ihre Leistungsfähigkeit oft genug an der Zahl der in renommierten Fachorganen erschienenen Publikationen gemessen wird. In diesem Zusammenhang gewinnen auch in Englisch publizierte Beiträge enorm an Bedeutung. Wir sind folglich mit einer zunehmenden, sich sprachlich, aber auch medial verändernden Informationswelle konfrontiert.

The article deals with the concept of HAPPINESS in Public Relation discourse (PR discourse). The concept of HAPPINESS refers to one of the most important components of the linguistic worldview of each nation. Analysis of lexical units that verbalize the concept of HAPPINESS through the prism of PR discourse allows us to identify the linguistic features that create images contributing to the promotion of various ideas of PR campaigns especially dealing with food promotion. The desire to be happy is inherent in every person as an integral part of his or her nature. The persons’ ideas concerning happiness are included in the life system of their values and express their attitude to the world. The problem of human happiness has long been the most important issue of philosophy but presently of some transdisciplinary areas, PR campaigns included. The conducted study shows that happiness as the supreme good, as the possible and achievable state of human existence, is one of the main concer...

Desde nuestra experiencia como profesoras de Francés Lengua Extranjera –en adelante FLE– consideramos que procesar un texto implica la presencia de factores no sólo cognitivos, sino también pragmáticos. Cognitivos, en tanto supone una relación con loscontextos lingüísticos y pragmáticos porque se refieren a los contextos culturales. Es por ello que el análisis de un texto no debe limitarse al estudio de sus unidades lingüísticas.En este sentido, coincidimos con Acuña y Legros, quienes a través de sus investigaciones afirman que: “es necesario tener en cuenta el contexto” (Legros y Acuña, 2006, p. 115) del aula para lograr la elaboración de una didáctica intercultural del texto que favorezca la interacción entre el texto y su intérprete.

El presente capítulo propone una secuencia didáctica cuyo objetivo es desbloquear en la mente de los estudiantes la distinción entre la naturaleza semántica del verbo y su caracterización sintáctica. La secuencia se compone de una serie de actividades que pretenden implicar directamente a los estudiantes, de modo que se responsabilicen de su propio aprendizaje y que, sobre todo, tomen conciencia por sí mismos de aquello que están aprendiendo. Se trata de una experiencia basada por completo en la comprensión de los fenómenos y que desecha las definiciones formuladas a priori, que no hacen sino encorsetar la capacidad analítica. La muestra que desarrollamos aquí se apoya en el estudio del verbo llevar, uno de los verbos más frecuentes del español y, por lo tanto, de los más versátiles en lo que a dispersión sintáctica se refiere. Nos apoyamos fundamentalmente en una visión cognitiva de la gramática y, para la elaboración de actividades, en los principios de la Gramática Orientada a las Competencias (GrOC).

The present paper aims at analyzing the genre of the English research article which presents the findings of the investigation conducted by the writer(s) of the research and published in the peer-reviewed journal. Key notions applied to the English research article were discussed: hedging and tolerance.Tolerance is regarded as a property of a dialogue interaction oriented towards cooperation, mutual respect and understanding. A key function that hedging performs is to make the statements sound less categorical in order to protect the writer against possible criticism from the reader as well as to be polite and modest in relation to the addressee. Both devices are of communicative character and bear etiquette meanings. The results indicate that new scientific knowledge in the English research article is associated with tolerant expression of claims. Tolerance demonstrates a relationship between the writer and the reader and accomplishes a more receptive reader attitude to claims. Key...

2024, Ideational Metaphor in Saudi EFL Students’ Academic Writing: A Systemic-Functional Linguistic Analysis

Over the past decade, there has been an upsurge in studies on the quality of EFL students' English academic writing. However, research on grammatical metaphors in academic writing by EFL students is limited. As such, the purpose of this research is to identify the occurrences of ideational metaphors in students' academic writing essays. In this research, the qualitative descriptive approach was applied. This study included 20 undergraduate students from the English Language and Literature Department at the College of Science and Humanities in Shaqra University, Saudi Arabia, Essay Writing course in the fourth level. Students were to write 350-word essay on the subject of "Learning Difficulties During the Coronavirus Pandemic". The data corpus for the study totals 8,482 words. According to the findings, the students' essays include 408 sentences that comprise the ideational metaphor. It is considered insignificant in contrast to the corpus's full data set of 8,482 words. The occurrence of ideational metaphors is dominated by material processes, followed by mental processes, relational processes, behavioral processes, and existential processes. This conclusion shows that EFL students' essay structures are unlikely to have a high number of good grammatical metaphor clauses. For EFL students, lecturers, teachers, and other educational professionals involved in instructing English academic writing, this study has pedagogical implications; it sheds light on how grammatical metaphors in writing texts can serve as a stand-in for the caliber of writing used in academic and scientific literature.

Academic discourse like argumentative writing is meant to build strong arguments while projecting different theories and research. In academics, writers are expected to express certainty and doubt. In this regard, a modal verb is used to reflect the speaker's perspective about anything obvious, tentative or reasonable. It improves language expressions to form accurate opinions, obligations, purposes and understanding of certain notions. Economic

Reviewing and citing literature are essential elements determining the quality of academic texts such as research articles (RAs); however, it is not easy to review and cite literature especially when writing in a foreign language such as Indonesians writing in English. The purpose of this study is to investigate the review and citation style in English RA introductions published in medical science journals written by Indonesian and international authors. Forty English RA introductions were analysed on the review and citation style and linguistic features such as tenses and citation type. The results show that there are more similarities than differences in the review and citation style and linguistic features of RA introductions in the two different medical journals. However, Indonesian writers in medical sciences should include negative evaluation when reviewing and citing other's work in their English RA introductions to be successful if submitted to an international journal.
