Detail Generic The in Scientific American   Oleh:  Master, Peter Jenis: Article from Bulletin/Magazine Dalam koleksi: The ESP Journal vol. 6 no. 3 (1987), page 165-186. Ketersediaan Perpustakaan PKBB Nomor Panggil: 405/ESP/6 Non-tandon: tidak ada Tandon: 1  Lihat Detail Induk Isi artikel The use of generic the and its aIternatives 0 and a(n) is investigated at a range of discourse levels in a series of articles from Scientific American. Generic the was found to occur less frequently than generic 0 but much more frequently than generic a (n). It was the most likely of the three generic articles to occur with noun phrases in subject position. It was more likely to be found in the first sentence of a paragraph than in the last, and it was more likely to be found in introductions and conclusions than elsewhere. Finally, generic the was more likely than a(n) or 0 to mark the topic of a scientific essay and other NPs that contribute to the author's argument. These usages appear to reflect the apparent focused, causal nature of generic the. in contradistinction to the more descriptive generic 0 and a(n).
