Abstract | Adverbial attitude markers are among the linguistic devices authors use to indicate their attitude toward propositions. The purposes of the quantitative corpus-based study are to explore the syntactic features of adverbial attitude markers, and to compare the use of the attitude markers in the discussion section of 100 RAs collected from 20 international academic journals; 5 articles from each journal which were published in 2014 in the two different fields of language & linguistics and biochemistry. For the identification of adverbial attitude markers, a corpus tool called TagAnt was employed. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results show that authors from both fields used adverbial attitude markers similarly in terms of frequency and word choice, with 19 items considered as attitude markers which occurred less than once in every 1,000 words in both fields. Despite its mobility of attitude adverbs, the adverbial attitude markers in the initial position in the clause tend to be extensively more common in the discussions of RAs than others. This paper provides rhetorical knowledge for research article authors and has pedagogical implications in academic writing. |
