This study examined disciplinary rhetoric in research articles, focusing on different traditions in structuring text discourses from a metadiscourse-move analytic approach. The corpus consisted of 72 research article Introductions (RAIs): 36 in applied linguistics and 36 in chemistry. Swales’ CARS model (1990, 2004) and Hyland’s interpersonal model of metadiscourse (2005) were used as analytica...

The power of media lies in its persuasive function, which gives media a potential to maneuver on the mind of audience (van Dijk 1996). This potential is realized via different linguistic resources, one important group of which is metadiscoursal resources. The major aim of this study was to explore how and in what distribution these resources are employed by writers with different cultural backg...

A THEORY OF INTERACTION ritual is the key to microsociology, and microsociology is the key to much that is larger. The smallscale, the hereand-now of face-to-face interaction, is the scene of action and the site of social actors. If we are going to find the agency of social life, it will be here.

chologists has shown that implicit race bias can influence an individual’s behavior (Amodio and Devine 2006; Dovidio, Kawakami, and Gaertner 2002; Fazio and Olson 2003). Implicit bias has been suggested to be more prevalent but also less subject to cognitive control than explicit racism (Amodio, Harmon-Jones, and Devine 2003; Dovidio et al. 1997). However, relatively little is known about how i...

Juxtaposing symbolic interactionist and postmodern interpretations of cyberself-ing, I bring data to bear on the tensions between these two theoretical stances. I argue that postmodernist accounts are no longer tenable; such studies were based on multi-user domains (MUDs), but generalized to cyberspace. I examine the evolving internet population, which has reached a critical mass of the America...
