Abstract A recent trend in corpus-based text analysis emphasizes the recurring linguistic features which writers use in the construction of disciplinary genres in terms of the rhetorical aims realized through their use, with a particular emphasis on formulaic sequences and genres associated with the production and dissemination of academic knowledge. The present study extends this trend into research on an understudied promotional genre by examining the distribution of frequent phrase-frames (p-frames) across the rhetorical stages of 148 purpose statements in accepted Fulbright grant applications. P-frames were automatically identified according to a number of established thresholds and manually filtered for completeness. Each occurrence of the 69 identified p-frames was analyzed in context to assign one of four rhetorical move codes based on previous research. In addition, experienced ESL writing instructors (N=10) and advanced ESL learners (N=10) were surveyed regarding their perceptions of the pedagogical potential of each p-frame for the teaching of promotional genres. The distribution of these p-frames across the rhetorical stages of the analyzed texts, as well as the learner and instructor ratings, are analyzed and presented here. Overall findings highlight the potential pedagogical value of teaching discontinuous formulaic sequences due to their composition of both fixed and variable elements.

宣传写作中短语框架的形式和修辞功能:基于语料库和体裁的分析

摘要 基于语料库的文本分析的最新趋势强调了作家在构建学科体裁时所使用的反复出现的语言特征,即通过使用它们实现的修辞目标,特别强调与生产和传播相关的公式化序列和体裁。的学术知识。本研究通过检查已接受的富布赖特资助申请中 148 个目的陈述的修辞阶段的频繁短语框架 (p-frames) 的分布,将这一趋势扩展到对未充分研究的促销类型的研究中。P 帧是根据一些已建立的阈值自动识别的,并手动过滤以确保完整性。69 个已识别 p 帧的每次出现都在上下文中进行分析,以根据先前的研究分配四个修辞移动代码之一。此外,还对经验丰富的 ESL 写作教师 (N=10) 和高级 ESL 学习者 (N=10) 进行了调查,了解他们对每个 p-frame 在宣传体裁教学中的教学潜力的看法。这些 p 框架在所分析文本的修辞阶段的分布,以及学习者和教师的评分,都在此处进行了分析和呈现。总体研究结果强调了不连续公式序列教学的潜在教学价值,因为它们由固定和可变元素组成。对经验丰富的 ESL 写作教师 (N=10) 和高级 ESL 学习者 (N=10) 进行了调查,了解他们对每个 p-frame 在宣传体裁教学中的教学潜力的看法。这些 p 框架在所分析文本的修辞阶段的分布,以及学习者和教师的评分,都在此处进行了分析和呈现。总体研究结果强调了不连续公式序列教学的潜在教学价值,因为它们由固定和可变元素组成。对经验丰富的 ESL 写作教师 (N=10) 和高级 ESL 学习者 (N=10) 进行了调查,了解他们对每个 p-frame 在宣传体裁教学中的教学潜力的看法。这些 p 框架在所分析文本的修辞阶段的分布,以及学习者和教师的评分,都在此处进行了分析和呈现。总体研究结果强调了不连续公式序列教学的潜在教学价值,因为它们由固定和可变元素组成。
