ABSTRACT

The structure of the argument is never separated from the identity of the claim of the argument used by the author. The type of claim is truly determined by the understanding of the nature of the argumentative construction claim and the author's awareness to use the argumentative claim in academic writing. This study aims to describe the tendency of using types of claims by Indonesian academic writers. To achieve the research objectives, two problem formulations were formulated, namely: (1) How is the tendency to use types of claims by Indonesian writers in academic writing? (2) What are the determinants of the tendency to use types of claims by Indonesian writers in academic writing? This study uses a mixed approach. Argumentative claims in research papers written by Indonesian researchers and published in journals were collected. A questionnaire was also administered to describe the tendency of using claims. The data were analyzed by applying the content analysis method and the descriptive statistic technique. Findings revealed five types of claims made by Indonesian writers, including argumentative claims based on expert opinions, analogy, precedent, hypotheses, and cause-and-effect. The pattern of the author's claim tendencies was also supported by quantitative findings.
