This study focuses on the use and discourse functions of context frame markers in the result and discussion
section of research articles across four disciplines. Sixteen result and discussion sections from four disciplines,
namely, English Language Teaching, Economics, Biology, and Civil Engineering (four from each discipline)
were analysed by adapting Gosden’s (1992) taxonomy. Findings showed disciplinary differences in relation to
the realisation of the context frame types, frequencies, and associated discourse functions. These differences in
terms of types, frequencies, and discourse functions of context frames are imposed by the nature of the
rhetorical section of result and discussion, the nature of the discipline, and both the nature of rhetorical section
of result and discussion and the discipline, respectively. Findings suggest that context frames are an important
means which the writer uses to deliver claims and arguments in results and discussion. As a result of the
dictums imposed by the generic RA section and the nature of the discipline, marked disciplinary differences are
found in the writing endeavour. |
