Rhetorical structures and cyclical patterns in forestry research articles
There have been a considerable number of studies on the research article genre (RA) from different perspectives of form and function. However, limited studies have examined the overall organizational structure of articles with all the main sections of the research article, Introduction- Methods-R...

| description | There have been a considerable number of studies on the research article genre (RA) from different
perspectives of form and function. However, limited studies have examined the overall
organizational structure of articles with all the main sections of the research article, Introduction-
Methods-Results-Discussion (IMRD). There are also variations in the IMRD sections of the
research article across different disciplines. The present study sought to analyze a) the rhetorical
structure of individual sections of Forestry RAs in ISI journals, and b) analyze the cyclical patterns
appearing in each section. A corpus of 40 research articles from five ISI journals were selected
for this study. The selected articles were extracted from high impact factor journals in Forestry.
The corpus was analysed based on Kanoksilapatham (2005) model as the analytical tool to explore
the rhetorical moves in the corpus. Analysis of the research articles revealed that all sections did
not follow the same rhetorical structure as specified in Kanoksilapatham (2005) model. On the
basis of the analysis, some new moves or steps were realized. In terms of cyclical patterns, the
findings pointed to the pervasiveness of salient move cycles in each section. Awareness of the
rhetorical structure of RAs functions as an avenue to empower scholars, particularly novice
writers, to integrate robustly into the academic community of their discipline. |
