RHETORICAL FRAMEWORKS IN MOVE ANALYSIS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Swales’s (1990) seminal work on the rhetorical structure of the Introduction section of research articles has inspired a multitude of studies describing the moves that researchers in different disciplines make in their research papers. These frameworks of moves share many features but also vary to differing degrees, mainly in the levels of abstraction and conceptualisation. This paper examines some of the most comprehensive frameworks and explores their similarities and differences. Results from this analysis have important implications for future move-based research.
