Abstract:

This volume examines rhetorical conventions employed in mechanical
engineering research to understand the knowledge-making principles of
the discipline, as well as their expression within the research
article. In particular, the study analyses the organisational patterns
of mechanical engineering research articles using Swales’s
conceptualisation of moves and steps. In addition, the research
identifies the phraseology associated with specific moves and steps.
The study draws on a corpus of 120 mechanical engineering research
articles, equally distributed across two sub-disciplines (mechanical
systems and thermal-fluids engineering), three research traditions
(experimental, theoretical and mixed methods), and two publication
periods (2002–2006 and 2012–2016). It adopts an integrated
methodology, intertwining various approaches and perspectives
including corpus linguistics, move analysis, discourse analysis and
interviews to address two main strands of research enquiry: (i) What
are the properties of the rhetorical structures in terms of range,
frequency, and length for each section of mechanical engineering
research articles? (ii) What effect does sub-discipline, research
tradition and publication date have on the rhetorical structure of
research articles?
