Abstract

Move Analysis is an analytical approach to text identification and has been used to evaluate various types of genres, such as academic paper, thesis, essay, etc. However, research that focuses on the manifestation of abstract discourse patterns in master’s theses and doctoral dissertation has not been widely carried out. This study aims to identify the abstract discourse patterns in master’s theses and doctoral dissertations and its linguistic features realization that are displayed in each final paper. Using Hyland’s (2000) five-move analysis model, this study analysed the abstracts of final papers in English and Indonesian. Differences were found in the frequency of occurrence in each move. In terms of linguistic features realization, the English and Indonesian data showed significant differences in tense usage. However, voice and verb usage in each language and level of abstracts have shown notable similarities of occurrences. These findings are expected to produce a clearer picture of differences in the manifestation of abstract discourse patterns in each language. Further comparative research on this particular topic with more subjects of data is suggested.
