초록
The purpose of this study is to investigate the strategies of establishing a niche (NE) in English and Korean Applied Linguistics research articles (RA) written by L1 authors, based on Swales’ (1990) CARS model. It analyzes the introduction and literature review sections in two topic areas: second language learning (non-policy) and second language education policy (policy). The results of the study reveal that NEs are an RA genre-specific feature across languages and topics. But they show language- specific variations including a larger number of NEs in both sections of the English RAs than in the Korean ones, in which a scanty of NEs was found in the literature review sections. Indicating a gap in research was preferred strategies in the English non-policy RAs, while addressing current situational problems was dominant in the English policy RAs. Such topic-specific strategies were less manifest in the Korean RAs. The analysis of move and step shifts around NEs also reveals RA genre-specific features and language, topic, and section variations; it further illustrates a higher frequency of sequential co-occurrences of NE steps in the introduction sections. The findings suggest not only RA genre-specific features shared among the sub-corpora, but also RA section- and language-specific functions, and RA language- and topic-specific variations.
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the strategies of establishing a niche (NE) in English and Korean Applied Linguistics research articles (RA) written by L1 authors, based on Swales’ (1990) CARS model. It analyzes the introduction and literature review sections in two topic areas: second language learning (non-policy) and second language education policy (policy). The results of the study reveal that NEs are an RA genre-specific feature across languages and topics. But they show language- specific variations including a larger number of NEs in both sections of the English RAs than in the Korean ones, in which a scanty of NEs was found in the literature review sections. Indicating a gap in research was preferred strategies in the English non-policy RAs, while addressing current situational problems was dominant in the English policy RAs. Such topic-specific strategies were less manifest in the Korean RAs. The analysis of move and step shifts around NEs also reveals RA genre-specific features and language, topic, and section variations; it further illustrates a higher frequency of sequential co-occurrences of NE steps in the introduction sections. The findings suggest not only RA genre-specific features shared among the sub-corpora, but also RA section- and language-specific functions, and RA language- and topic-specific variations.
