Abstract

Move analysis investigates the rhetorical patterns of texts, mostly in academic writing. This approach focuses on the communicative purposes and rhetorical strategies referred to as moves and steps. The present study aims to disclose whether the authors’ backgrounds affect the rhetorical organization of dissertation abstracts. Embracing the corpus-based approach, this study analyzed 120 humanities abstracts from a total of four universities in England and Indonesia. Hyland’s (2000) model was adopted as the analysis guideline. The present study revealed that Introduction – Purpose – Method – Product are the most common patterns in both data groups. Further comparative research on this particular topic with different subjects of data is suggested.
