The rhetorical structure of the results and discussion section of academic papers from the colleges of Sciences of Life and Exact, Technological and Multidisciplinary Sciences.
Keywords:
Scientific paper, Academic writing, RSTAbstract
This paper aims to investigate the rhetorical structure of the results and discussion section of scientific papers from the colleges of Life Sciences and Exact, Technological and Multidisciplinary Sciences. In addition to investigating rhetorical relationships, clues (linguistic signals) that signal the relationships are also investigated. The theoretical-methodological model adopted is the Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST), a descriptive theory that studies the organization of texts, characterizing the relations held between parts of the text.
