section of a thesis represents the whole text. It is the first thing that the readers will read and decides whether the readers will read the text as a whole or not. As a summary of the whole text, it is comprehensible that in writing abstracts, authors may put a lot of information compactly. Moreover, it is important to ensure that the abstract section is well delivered. Move analysis of an abstract can help authors to determine whether the abstracts accomplish necessary rhetorical actions. However, analysis of rhetorical moves of abstracts written in two languages is still scarce. Therefore, this study aims to investigate rhetorical moves patterns realized in abstracts of theses and dissertations in Indonesian and their translations in English. Hyland's (2000) five-move analysis model was used to analyze rhetorical moves patterns of 60 thesis and dissertation abstracts in social science taken from a university's online repository. This study reaches a conclusion that differences in education level may affect move and step realization in thesis or dissertation abstracts. From that point, authors should start to also include other moves such as introduction, purpose, and conclusion in their abstracts.
Academicians are required to publish international journals which abstract written in English and their native language; however, writing in English for non-native English speakers is not easy. There are some issues that are faced by academicians regarding abstracts writing, such as different writing style, different culture, and different mother language. This study aims to discover the authors' abstracts in terms of moves, steps, also the linguistic features. Eight data abstracts were collected for this research. Qualitative analysis used Hyland's (2000) theory for analyzing each move of the abstracts: Introduction, Purpose, Method, Product, and Conclusion (I-P-M-Pr-C). The findings show dominant and least rhetorical moves used by hard science field academicians and linguistic features that are realized to support the rhetorical moves. The conclusions serve as a future reference for those interested in discourse analysis, cross-cultural abstracts, and research publication purposes.
is an important part of an undergraduate thesis that contains a summary of the entire data. A good abstract must be patterned well using a rhetorical move. This study aims to identify the rhetorical move used in abstracts by Humanities and Hard Science students in Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. 30 abstracts in Bahasa Indonesia and their translation in English (a total of 60 abstracts) were taken from six disciplines i.e., English Language Education, Indonesian Language and Literature Education, Sundanese Language Education, International Program on Science Education, Chemistry Education, and Mathematics Education. Content Analysis was used as the instrument of analysing data. Hyland's Five-Move Analysis model was also used as the guideline for the analysis. The result showed that Findings and Methodology were mostly used in the undergraduate thesis abstract. In conclusion, different disciplines affect the implementation of the rhetorical move in abstracts. The finding is important to describe the rhetorical move used by Humanities and Hard Science students in making abstracts. However, this study only reveals the rhetorical move used by six disciplines. Because of that, it is recommended for future researchers to analyse rhetorical move used by other disciplines; not only in making thesis abstracts but also dissertations abstracts.
The most common mistake in daily conversation is speech errors, and one of them caused by slip of the tongue. This study aimed to discover types of repair strategy in slips of the tongue which came from the speaker in the "Tonight Show Indonesia". This study used a descriptive qualitative design, and data were taken from the transcriptions of seven YouTube videos of "Tonight Show Indonesia" that contained slips of the tongue and repairs in the conversations. To analyze the slips of the tongue and repairs, researchers used psycholinguistics approach and conversation analysis theory. This study analyzed the slips of the tongue based on Wells (1951), Hockett (1967), Fromkin (1971 and repairs in the conversation from Schegloff, Jefferson, and Sacks (1977). The results showed that there were six out seven types of slips of the tongue occurred in the conversations, namely anticipation, preservation, transpositions, substitutions, blends, counter blends, and haplologies. The most dominant type was substitutions. The results also showed that the slips of the tongue appeared in the conversations with different types of repairs. The speaker used self-initiated selfrepair more frequently than other types of repair strategy in the conversations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
