چکیده

abstract rhetorical structure is helpful in improving how the writers maintain cohesion in their writings. this study examines how the iraqi writers maintain cohesion in the text by analyzing the various rhetorical moves in azzaman, an online iraqi newspaper. to this purpose, twelve opinion articles from azzaman iraqi newspaper, published from january 2013 to june 2013 were analyzed. the findings revealed a common rhetorical pattern: the introduction section, the intermediate section, and the coda section (conclusion stage). all these were frequently used, but the use of intermediate section (solution stage) and coda section (moral stage) were less frequently-used in comparison with the introduction section. the findings of this study reflect the way iraqis write opinion articles in english newspapers, and generally show that the use of similar patterns in the rhetorical structure mirrors the writing of second language writers’ writing to convey information to second language readers.
