Abstract

This study reports on the examination of the Introductions of research articles in civil engineering in English. Specifically, this study has the objectives of 1) identifying the structural organization of the Introductions in terms of moves and steps, and 2) capturing linguistic features that are commonly used in each move and step. A dataset of civil engineering research articles was compiled to represent the high quality journals in the field. Subsequently, the dataset was analyzed by using Swales’ genre analysis model (2004) to segment the Introduction texts into sub-units called ‘moves’ and ‘steps,’ respectively, according to their communicative functions
