Abstract

RAMOS-QUISPE, Teresa; POSTIGO-ZUMARAN, Julio Efraín  and  ARIAS-CHAVEZ, Dennis. RESEARCH ARTICLE’S ABSTRACTS ANALYSIS IN TWO SCIENTIFIC AREAS: A MULTIDISCIPLINARY STUDY. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2021, n.80, pp.319-339.  Epub Dec 13, 2022. ISSN 0120-5587.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n80a19.

This article seeks to describe the rhetorical organization of the abstracts in research papers from six Peruvian scientific journals ascribed to the social and biomedical sciences. This research work analyzes the generic structure of 270 texts published between 2015 and 2019, with a descending approach and under the model of rhetorical movements (Swales & Feak, 2009). The results show the presence of three and four movements in the social sciences, and of four movements in the biomedical ones. Focusing on the movements’ order of appearance, the social sciences journals show more variability than the biomedical journals.

Keywords : abstract; rhetorical movements; rhetorical structure; biomedical sciences; social sciences.
