Comparing the Move Structure and Thematic Progression Pattern of Chinese and Native Speakers’ English Research Article Abstracts (RAA)—A Corpus Based Study of Aeronautics RAA
Siming Huang and Meiying Song
Abstract—Abstract reflects the main content of a research
article. Linguists have made great efforts to analyze the
structure of abstracts by using genre analysis. However, there
have been little quantitative studies to compare Chinese scholars
RA’s English abstract with that of the native speakers in the
field of aeronautics. In particular, few studies have focused on
analyzing them by means of combing the theory of genre
analysis and thematic progression. This study analyzed the
move structure and thematic progression pattern of 60 English
abstracts selected from two aeronautics journals respectively
(AIAA, CJA). Of the 60 English abstracts, 30 are written by
Chinese scholars and 30 by native speakers. The results show
that the frequency, order of moves, and the choice of thematic
progression patterns in each move differ a lot in the two corpora.
This study will not only enrich the empirical study of abstract
analysis but also have some implications for academic paper
writing, publishing, and teaching.
Index Terms—Genre analysis, international journal writing, move structure, thematic progression pattern.
