The present study aims to explore the impact of research types on authorial presence within a discipline. To that end, this study investigates to what extent L1 English writers of quantitative and qualitative single-author research articles (RAs) in applied linguistics exhibit explicit authorial presence throughout the RAs or across RA sections. The study analyzed first-person singular and plural pronouns as explicit authorial references and third-person and inanimate NPs as implicit ones. The results reveal the quantitative RA writers’ underuse of authorial references, particularly first-person singular pronouns, and their overuse of implicit authorial references, across the sections, compared to the qualitative RA writers. Explicit and implicit authorial references were used for similar section-specific discourse functions in both corpora. Yet, section-specific variations were also noted from the quantitative RA writers’ strong reliance on implicit ones in the Method and Discussion sections, projecting a detached self in the objective style; and the qualitative RA writers’ salient favor of explicit ones in the Method and Results sections, stressing their ownership of the research and personal commitments. These intradisciplinary variations suggest the influence of research types on explicit authorial presence in applied linguistics RAs.
Abstract
The present study aims to explore the impact of research types on authorial presence within a discipline. To that end, this study investigates to what extent L1 English writers of quantitative and qualitative single-author research articles (RAs) in applied linguistics exhibit explicit authorial presence throughout the RAs or across RA sections. The study analyzed first-person singular and plural pronouns as explicit authorial references and third-person and inanimate NPs as implicit ones. The results reveal the quantitative RA writers’ underuse of authorial references, particularly first-person singular pronouns, and their overuse of implicit authorial references, across the sections, compared to the qualitative RA writers. Explicit and implicit authorial references were used for similar section-specific discourse functions in both corpora. Yet, section-specific variations were also noted from the quantitative RA writers’ strong reliance on implicit ones in the Method and Discussion sections, projecting a detached self in the objective style; and the qualitative RA writers’ salient favor of explicit ones in the Method and Results sections, stressing their ownership of the research and personal commitments. These intradisciplinary variations suggest the influence of research types on explicit authorial presence in applied linguistics RAs.
