Abstract

Genre analysis as an area of great concern in recent decades, involves the observation of linguistic features used by a determined discourse community. The research article (RA) is one of the most widely researched genres in academic writing which is realized through some rhetorical moves and discursive steps to achieve a communicative purpose. This study aimed at proposing a model of generic patterns competence applicable in writing RAs in different English for Academic Purposes (EAP) disciplines. In so doing, a “qualitative meta-synthesis” (Walsh &Downe, 2005) approach was adopted as the research method. A meta-synthesis exercise was framed and the currently available literature on various models of generic moves suggested for the different sections of RAs was investigated. 391 relevant abstracts and 354 full papers were selected and screened and a number of 26 studies were appraised for final inclusion. Afterwards, a reciprocal translation was conducted to generate the latent themes and concepts in the general model. More specifically, a thematic coding strategy was applied for synthesizing the selected qualitative evidence. Then, different obtained themes and categories were synthesized to extract the major dimensionsof the model of RA generic competence. Finally, four super themes of generic competences were emerged including: RA abstract generic competence, RA introduction generic competence, RA methodology generic competence, and RA discussion generic competence. The new model can be a common frame of reference to guide the EAP researchers in understanding and following the appropriate generic structuresin producing an acceptable body of academic discourse to be published in highly prestigious journals.

Abstract [Persian]

تجزیه و تحلیل ژانر به عنوان یک حیطه مورد توجه در دهه های اخیر، شامل بررسی برخی ویژگی های زبانشناختی می باشد که توسط یک اجتماع گفتمانی خاص مورد استفاده قرار می گیرد. مقاله تحقیقی یکی از ژانرهایی است که در زمینه نگارش آکادمیک بطور وسیع مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است و با برخی گام های بلاغی و گفتمانی به منظور رسیدن به یک هدف ارتباطی نمود می یابد. این مطالعه با هدف ارائه مدلی برای توانش الگوهای ژانری قابل استفاده در نوشتن مقالات تحقیقی در رشته های مختلف انگلیسی با اهداف علمی انجام شد. به این منظور، روش فراترکیبکیفی (والش و داون، 2005) به عنوان روش تحقیق مورد استفاده قرار گرفت. فرایند فراتلفیق چهارچوب گذاری شد و ادبیات موجود در مورد مدلهای مختلف گام های ژانری ارائه شده برای بخش های مختلف مقاله تحقیقی بررسی شد. 391 چکیده مرتبط و 354 مقاله کاملا انتخاب و غربالگری شد و تعداد 26 مطالعه برای ورود به بررسی نهایی تایید شد.پس از آن، تفسیرتقابلی برای دستیابی به مضامین و مفاهیم نهفته در مدل کلی انجام شد. به طور خاص، یک استراتژی کدگذاری موضوعی برای تلفیق شواهد کیفی منتخب استفاده شد. سپس، تمها و دسته بندی های به دست آمده مختلف برای استخراج ابعاد اصلی مدل توانش الگوهای ژانری نگارش مقالات تحقیقی تلفیق شدند. سرانجام، چهار مضمون اصلی برای این مدل بدست آمدند: توانش ژانری نگارش چکیده در مقالات تحقیقی، توانش ژانری نگارش مقدمه در مقالات تحقیقی، توانش ژانری نگارش روش شناسی در مقالات تحقیقی، و توانش ژانری نگارش بحث و نتیجه گیری در مقالات تحقیقی. مدل جدید می تواند یک چهارچوب مرجع مشترک برای هدایت محققان در رشته های مختلف تحصیلی در درک و پیروی از ساختارهای ژانری مناسب در تولید گفتمان علمی مطلوب با قابلیت انتشار در مجلات بسیار معتبر باشد.
