| Sumario: | Since move analysis was proposed by Swales (1990), numerous studies have
adopted this method to explore organisational patterns in different sections of
research articles in a range of disciplines. However, research articles in
mechanical engineering have attracted scant attention in genre analysis research.
This paper will be among the first to identify move structures of the Results Discussion section of research articles in this under-explored discipline. To this
end, it draws on a corpus of 18 original research articles that employ different
research types (experimental, theoretical and mixed). The findings show the
prototypicality as well as variability in genre practices associated with different
disciplinary contexts. The findings have important implications for the design of
corpora used in genre analysis |
