Abstract

Many good research publications were not getting the attention of prospective readers due to a lack of structure and persuasive arguments. This paper investigated the rhetorical strategies to identify the generic structure and language features in successful research rhetoric. Research abstracts as representations of the research papers were used as corpus. A corpus-based study was conducted to identify the recurring patterns of lexical use and lexical structures in research rhetoric. The results showed information used in abstracts to contain an introduction to the issue followed by research purpose, methods, results, conclusion consecutively. Interestingly, sometimes abstracts directly started with the purpose of research and are followed by a discussion on the research topic. Some abstracts did not include a conclusion of the research. Certain lexical expressions were also used in presenting the thoughts and arguments of the authors. These recurring lexical items showed the common practice of research authors in Computer Science. Following the findings, a model of successful abstract was presented. Implications for further study were also discussed.
