Abstract

Penelitian tentang intisari artikel penelitian masih sangat jarang ditemukan. Padahal intisari mempunyai peran yang tidak kalah pentingnyadengan artikel penelitian itu sendiri karena intisarilah (beserta judulnya) yang pertama sekali akan menarik perhatian pembaca sehingga untuk dapat dikenal dan diakui oleh masyarakat akademik, penulis-peneliti seringkali bergantung kepadanya.

Abstract

In 1964 Fishman introduced in his study of the languages of the minority immigrants in the US the concepts of language maintenance and language shift (LMLS) as a separate field of inquiry. However, it was only after a number of years later that extensive studies were devoted to the investigatOn of these notions. Various scholars working in the field of lingustics, sociolinguistics,  anthropological linguistics, and even social psychology began to examine from their own perspective points of view these phenomena together with aspects associated with them. Many scholarly attempts have since then flourished to study LMLS not only in developed countries but also- to a varying degree-in developing countries. As a result of these extensive studies, the concepts of LMLS have also undergone development and modification, partly also because of the varied methods employed.

Abstract

The aim of this article is to examine the basic concepts underlying the notion of interlanguage and its related aspects, that is interlanguage continuum and tossilisation. It will be obvious in the course of the discussion that attention will be focused on the interlanguage continuum, the ways in which second language learners progress along it, and why at any one stage in this continuuma learner may fossi lise.

Abstract

In recent years scientific English has received a good deal of attention from researchers working in such diverse fields as Linguistics, ie (Applied) Discourse Analysis and the Sociology of Science. This growing interest in research into scientific English is primarily due to the importance that modern scientific communities have assigned to it. Indeed, over these yearsEnglish seems to have enjoyed dominance over other languages as the language of international publication and it is now becoming more and more prominent in the pu blication of scientific research articles an d papers. Mounting evidence for this English domination has been offered by researchers such as Baldauf & Jernudd (l983a ; 1983b), Swales (1985), and Maher (1986). In 1983, fo r example, Baldauf & Jernudd (l 983a) conducted a study of the language use patterns in the Fisheries literature for 1978. Their analysis of 884 articles indicated that English is the dominant language (amounting to 75%) in the literature they examined. Having established this English domination, they proceeded to the investigation of the relationship between language use and location of writers. They concluded that "the large proportion of English language articles was due mainly to the large number of authors from English speaking countries and by the use of English as a medium of communication by international organizations " (l983a: 254).

Abstract

As a communicative strategy, hedging plays a central role in academic writing. Numerous different linguistic forms can be used to express this strategy. This article attempts to investigate modal auxiliary verbs as the principal means of expressing hedging in English academic discourse. For this purpose, a corpus of 75 primary empirical research articles from economics, linguistics, medicine, natural sciences and engineering was analyzed quantitatively with the help of corpus linguistic method. The results revealed that modal auxiliaries were used most frequently in linguistics and economics and least frequently in engineering and natural sciences while their use in medicine came in between. This seems to suggest that there is noticeable disciplinary variation in the degree of hedging through the use of modal auxiliaries in English research articles. Modal auxiliaries tend to be more common in soft sciences than in hard sciences whereas their use in health sciences in comparison with soft and hard sciences does not seem to show any significant difference.

Abstract

Because of its important role in the advancement of science, attempts have been made to investigate research article abstracts in terms of both their discourse patterning and their linguistic characteristics. This research is an attempt to examine their rhetorical patterning. More specifically, it addresses the questions what common discourse patterns research article abstracts have and whether abstracts from different disciplines show different patterns. The research corpus contained 50 research article abstracts collected from five international journals published in the fields of biology, engineering, linguistics, medicine and physics. The data were analyzed using a four-move abstract structure developed by Hardjanto (1997). The results showed that Moves 1, 3 and 4 were found in most abstracts, and were, therefore, considered as obligatory moves in the abstracts. The most common pattern was found to be a pattern containing all the four moves in the order of 1-2-3-4, especially in abstracts from medicine and linguistics. Another common pattern was a 1-3-4 pattern, found especially in abstracts from biology and physics, whereas abstracts from engineering did not show any preference for a specific pattern even though 40% of them had a 1-2-3-4 pattern. These results suggest that there is a significant disciplinary variation in English research article abstract patterning.

Abstract

This article investigates epistemic modality in political discourse. It focuses on modality markers in terms of their word classes, semantic meanings and discourse functions in political speeches. The data were taken from three speeches delivered by the 23rd Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The results show that the markers found in the three speeches are of five different types, i.e., lexical verbs, modal adjectives, modal adverbs, modal auxiliary verbs and modal nouns, with meanings ranging from possibility, probability, to certainty. The markers also indicate the speaker’s commitment whose degree reflects the function in the social context. The speaker’s commitment is divided into three degrees of engagement, each of which serves as a means to be polite, to be diplomatic, and to be persuasive. The findings suggest that Trudeau tends to use reasonable judgment expressions to sound diplomatic and persuasive in his speeches.
