Isi artikel

A modified version of the rhetorical categories proposed by Brett (1994) for the Results section of sociology articles was applied to eight medical research articles to determine how the model might be used pedagogically with undergraduate students of medicine. The analysis revealed that the Statement of Finding category represented 77% of sentences and occurred in both cyclical and linear patterns. The type of report and subject matter were found to influence the organization and pattern of presentation. Additional categories are suggested to cover layering (successive shifts of level) and conflicts between chronological and hierarchical order. These findings provide additional evidence of greater disciplinary variation in this section than in the Introduction and Discussion sections.
