“…For example, Holmes (1999) revealed that the rhetorical structure of social science Discussion sections displayed some distinctive features, such as the result that there is no obligatory move. Also, in a study carried out by Peacock (2002), it was found that there was no compulsory move in 252 Discussions from seven disciplines. In addition, there were some differences in terms of move employment and cyclicity in the Discussions written by native and non-native writers.…”

This study investigates the rhetorical move structure of English applied linguistic research article Discussions published in Thai and international journals. Two corpora comprising of 30 Thai Discussions and 30 international Discussions were analyzed using Yang & Allison's (2003) move model. Based on the analysis, both similarities and differences regarding the move occurrence, move-ordering patterns, and move cyclicity were found. The marked differences of the two corpora were in the step employment. The findings obtained in the current study are useful particularly for novice non-native writers by facilitating them to better understand the rhetorical structure of research article Discussions in the different publication contexts. In addition, they may provide L2 teachers with insight into effective instructional strategies to help EFL/ESL learners acquire pragmatic knowledge of the rhetorical structure of research article Discussions.

“…From among these genres, research articles have known to be an important and a key genre used by researchers of various fields for the circulation of scientific and academic knowledge (Peacock, 2002). Therefore, a substantial number of studies have examined the overall structure and organization of different parts of the research article including abstract, introduction, result section.…”

Abstract-Since Swales' CARS model (1981, 1990) work on the move structure of research article, studies on genre analysis have been carried out so far among which works on different parts of research article in various disciplines has gained a considerable literature. The present study aims to examine the move structure of research article conclusion sections in two fields of ELT and Nursing based on Yang and Allison's (2003) model of move structure in conclusion sections. Each corpus of the current study contains 25 research articles related specifically to the field under study. The results of data analysis indicated that both corpora contained the moves proposed in Yang and Allison's (2003) model and almost no significant differences were observed in the rhetorical structure of the afore-mentioned fields. Therefore, the authors of both ELT and Nursing had a great tendency to apply this model in the conclusion sections of their articles. The obtained findings of the current study can be useful for linguistic researchers in Foreign Language Teaching (FLT) by providing them with a holistic and unitary pattern as an authentic language in use through enriching their understandings and knowledge about the true nature and structure of different disciplines.

“…As Johns and Swales (2002) say, the article gets to be "valorised and ratified by the very fact of being published". An RA also plays a significant role in the circulation of academic knowledge (Peacock 2002) and it is well acknowledged as the key means of legitimating claims and disciplines (Berkenkotter & Huckin 1995, Hyland 1996.…”

This study focuses on the use and discourse functions of context frame markers in the result Gosden's (1992) taxonomy. Findings showed disciplinary differences in relation to the realisation of the context frame types, frequencies, and associated discourse functions. These differences in terms of types, frequencies, and discourse functions of context frames are imposed by the nature of the rhetorical section of result and discussion, the nature of the discipline, and both the nature of rhetorical section of result and discussion and the discipline, respectively. Findings suggest that context frames are an important means which the writer uses to deliver claims and arguments in results and discussion. As a result of the dictums imposed by the generic RA section and the nature of the discipline, marked disciplinary differences are found in the writing endeavour.
