초록
Recent intercultural rhetoric (IR) genre-based studies have been performed to explain dynamic and hybrid nature of culture and social contexts. However, few IR genre-based studies have examined similarities or differences between two languages considering their differences in rhetoric. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is (1) to develop a framework for analyzing Research Articles (RAs) written in Korean by experts considering different rhetorics between English and Korean; and (2) to identify what rhetorical moves occur in two groups of RAs written in English and Korean by experts, in terms of rhetorical structure from an IR perspective. A framework for analyzing RAs written in Korean was first developed with reference to interviews and previous research. Then, a comparison of the rhetorical structure of the two corpora was conducted through move analysis (Swales, 1981, 1990). Based on the findings, the overall rhetorical structure in the two corpora showed some differences with some intercultural aspects. This study is expected to contribute to genre-based writing instruction by conducting a comparative genre analysis of English and Korean RAs from an intercultural perspective.
Abstract
Recent intercultural rhetoric (IR) genre-based studies have been performed to explain dynamic and hybrid nature of culture and social contexts. However, few IR genre-based studies have examined similarities or differences between two languages considering their differences in rhetoric. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is (1) to develop a framework for analyzing Research Articles (RAs) written in Korean by experts considering different rhetorics between English and Korean; and (2) to identify what rhetorical moves occur in two groups of RAs written in English and Korean by experts, in terms of rhetorical structure from an IR perspective. A framework for analyzing RAs written in Korean was first developed with reference to interviews and previous research. Then, a comparison of the rhetorical structure of the two corpora was conducted through move analysis (Swales, 1981, 1990). Based on the findings, the overall rhetorical structure in the two corpora showed some differences with some intercultural aspects. This study is expected to contribute to genre-based writing instruction by conducting a comparative genre analysis of English and Korean RAs from an intercultural perspective.
