Isi artikel

This paper reports an analysis of research article (RA) abstracts from linguistics journals from two related angles: rhetorical organisation and thematic structure. Based on a small scale study it reveals two major types of rhetorical organisation, here called the IMRD type and the CARS type. When thematic analysis, in terms of thematic progression and method of thematic development, is applied to the two types of structure, distinct patterns of thematic distribution and choice are revealed, showing that the study of thematization can shed light on the complex profile of the RA abstract and contribute towards the understanding and explicit description of these texts. Moreover, the approach taken in this study shows potential for further research and pedagogic applications.
