Abstract

A well-written abstract is considered as the reflection of a qualified journal article which can be read by academic readers. It also serves as a determining point whether the reader decides to continue reading the text. Some of the previous studies examined abstracts based on the background of the writers as an expert-novice and a native- non-native. Meanwhile, this study presents research in progress on rhetorical moves of accepted research article (RA) abstracts, influenced by the different forms of collaboration which may have different realizations of abstract rhetorical patterns and linguistic features, i.e., voice and tense. Six abstracts of Indonesian Journal of Applied Linguistics (IJAL) articles published in 2020 and 2021 were selected. The selected abstracts are compared based on Hyland’s (2000) theory of rhetorical move analysis. The data are taken from those written by lecturers of Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) and those by UPI’s lecturers and other Indonesian universities’ lecturers. The results of this study revealed differences in rhetorical moves and steps. On the other hand, the linguistics features in selected abstracts showed similarities in terms of tense and voice. Implications of the present research findings to English for academic writing courses and journal writing workshops will be discussed.
