The purpose of the study is to investigate the rhetorical properties of Arabic research article introductions, using Swales’ CARS model. It is shown that Arabic introductions are varied in terms of their organization, resulting in a hybrid rhetorical structure: A few of them include features proposed in the CARS model, while the majority differs from it substantially. It is also shown how main features of Arabic discourse such as repetition and high-flown, ornamented expressions interact with rhetorical aspects of introductions. The significance of the findings is discussed using insights from the converging fields of genre analysis, contrastive rhetoric, and cross-cultural communication.
