Writers incorporate recommendations in the Discussion sections of research articles to indicate how their findings can lead to interesting avenues for further research and useful applications in real life, but it is not clear how such recommendations are positioned and realised using different language resources in their attempt to get their papers published. Based on a genre-based move analysis of 60 Forestry research articles, we have found that such recommendations appear in a vast majority of the Forestry Discussion sections while two-thirds of them close with a recommendation. Recommendations for practical applications occur far more frequently than those for further research, thus reflecting the applied nature of Forestry. In terms of language resources, recommendations for further research involve largely overt signals indicating possible knowledge outcomes, while those for practical applications require implicit linguistic signals demonstrating additional insights and values. It is suggested that learners be acquainted with the prevalent structures first before attention is directed to other covert strategies for highlighting the practical contributions of a study. Our findings can be used to illustrate how experienced writers aptly deploy rhetorical shifts to sensibly move to their targeted recommendations via relevant statements on the limitations and findings of their current research.

未来的方向：基于体裁的林业研究建议的进一步研究和实际应用

作家在研究文章的“讨论”部分中加入了建议，以表明他们的发现如何为有趣的途径提供进一步的研究和在现实生活中的有用应用，但尚不清楚如何使用不同的语言资源来定位和实现这样的建议，发表论文。基于对60篇林业研究文章的基于风格的举动分析，我们发现，此类建议出现在绝大多数的“林业讨论”部分中，而三分之二则以建议结尾。有关实际应用的建议要比针对进一步研究的建议更为频繁地出现，因此反映了林业的应用性质。在语言资源方面，进一步研究的建议主要涉及表明可能的知识成果的明显信号，而针对实际应用的建议则需要隐含的语言信号，以表明更多的见解和价值。建议先使学习者熟悉流行的结构，然后再将注意力转向其他隐蔽策略以突出研究的实际贡献。我们的发现可用于说明经验丰富的作家如何通过有关其当前研究局限性和发现的相关陈述，恰当地运用修辞转变，明智地转向他们的针对性建议。建议先使学习者熟悉流行的结构，然后再将注意力转向其他隐蔽策略以突出研究的实际贡献。我们的发现可用于说明经验丰富的作家如何通过有关其当前研究局限性和发现的相关陈述，恰当地运用修辞转变，明智地转向他们的针对性建议。建议先使学习者熟悉流行的结构，然后再将注意力转向其他隐蔽策略以突出研究的实际贡献。我们的发现可用于说明经验丰富的作家如何通过有关其当前研究局限性和发现的相关陈述，恰当地运用修辞转变，明智地转向他们的针对性建议。
