Abstract:

Linguistic Variation in Research Articles investigates the linguistic
characteristics of academic research articles, going beyond a traditional
analysis of the generically-defined research article to take into account
varied realizations of research articles within and across disciplines. It
combines corpus-based analyses of 70+  linguistic features with analyses of
the situational, or non-linguistic, characteristics of the Academic Journal
Registers Corpus: 270 research articles from 6 diverse disciplines
(philosophy, history, political science, applied linguistics, biology,
physics) and representing three sub-registers (theoretical, quantitative, and
qualitative research). Comprehensive analyses include a lexical/grammatical
survey, an exploration of structural complexity, and a Multi-Dimensional
analysis, all interpreted relative to the situational analysis of the corpus.
The finding that linguistic variation in research articles does not occur
along a single parameter like discipline is discussed relative to our
understanding of disciplinary practices, the multidimensional nature of
variation in research articles, and resulting methodological considerations
for corpus studies of disciplinary writing.
