Abstract

This paper reports a recent genre-based investigation into the move structure in a corpus of 30 empirical research article introductions (RAIs) published in high impact factor English-medium applied linguistic journals between 2011 and 2013. All of the research articles were written by native speakers of such countries as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and the USA. The analytical tool is Swales’ CARS 1990 framework. Consistent with numerous other findings, the current corpus-based research results confirm the validity of the CARS 1990 model in capturing the move structure of RAIs at the move tier.
Keywords: genre analysis, move structure, research article introductions
