Abstract This study contributes to the emerging line of research on the linguistic realizations of rhetorical functions in disciplinary writing by presenting a list of phrase-frames identified from the Corpus of Social Science Research Article Introductions (COSSRAI) aligned with the rhetorical move-steps that they occurred in. COSSRAI contains the introduction sections of 600 research articles published in leading journals in six social science disciplines. The corpus was manually annotated for rhetorical move-steps using an extensively adapted version of Swales’ (2004) Create a Research Space model. A list of phrase-frames was extracted from the corpus using a combination of corpus statistics and manual filtering. The phrase-frames were then systematically mapped to the rhetorical move-steps they occurred in. Three types of phrase-frames emerged from our analysis: specialized phrase-frames that occurred in one move-step only, semi-specialized phrase-frames that occurred primarily in one move-step but also in others, and non-specialized phrase-frames that occurred in multiple move-steps with no clear association with any of them. We conclude with a discussion of the pedagogical implications of the list of phrase-frames aligned with rhetorical move-steps and the findings of our analysis.

将短语框架与社会科学研究文章介绍中的修辞动作相匹配

摘要 本研究通过提供从社会科学研究文章介绍语料库 (COSSRAI) 中识别出的短语框架列表,与它们的修辞动作步骤相一致,为学科写作中修辞功能的语言实现的新兴研究路线做出了贡献。 COSSRAI 包含在六个社会科学学科的领先期刊上发表的 600 篇研究文章的介绍部分。使用广泛改编的 Swales (2004) Create a Research Space 模型对语料库进行了人工注释以进行修辞移动步骤。使用语料库统计和手动过滤的组合从语料库中提取短语框架列表。然后,短语框架被系统地映射到它们出现的修辞动作步骤。我们的分析中出现了三种类型的短语框架:仅在一个移动步骤中出现的专门短语框架,主要出现在一个移动步骤中但也在其他步骤中出现的半专门短语框架,以及非专门短语框架发生在多个移动步骤中,与其中任何一个都没有明确的关联。最后,我们讨论了与修辞步调一致的短语框架列表的教学意义以及我们的分析结果。
