The writing of the professions has been of increasing interest to social scientists and discourse analysts in recent years. Insights gained from a study of how professionals successfully communicate in academic and business settings help inform courses designed to support the writing activities of novice professional in-training. Moreover, with a focus on academic-scientific genres, practitioners in traditional L2 fields are increasingly becoming aware of the work carried out in L1 fields and how they and their students share many common concerns. For example, it is crucial that all novice writers of research articles (RAs) become aware of the social dialogic nature of scientific discourse and develop the skills required in the appropriate use of linguistic resources which realize such social interaction. This paper reports on one important component of language by means of which scientific RA writers structure textual interaction with the external community, namely choices of unmarked theme, i. e. grammatical Subject. The functional analysis presented here clearly reveals how the changing discourse roles of Subjects throughout scientific RAs strongly characterize this genre.
