A Detailed Schematic Structure of Research Paper Introductions: an Application in Support-writing Tools
نویسندگان
چکیده
Corpus analysis of 54 naturally occurring introductions of Physics papers led to a detailed schematic structure comprising eight components that are realized linguistically through 30 rhetorical strategies. A strategy is made up of two or three rhetorical messages out of a set of 45 messages. Such a detailed analysis was required for employing the case-based reasoning approach in developing writing tools aimed at assisting non-native English users. The introductions and related rhetorical structures formed the case base, with cases being easily retrieved and adapted through revision rules.
