Thesis (PhD) - Cyprus International University. Institute of Graduate Studies and Research English Language Teaching
An abstract serves the dual purpose of summarizing the research and
captivating interest for further exploration. Abstracts are composed of essential
components that contribute to achieving cohesive unity. Therefore, this study
aims to investigate the move structures within thesis and dissertation abstracts
authored by Turkish and foreign MA and PhD students enrolled in ELT
department. However, these moves cannot be found in a fixed pattern and the
reason for this is writing styles change according to different contexts and
different cultures. For this reason, this study is done to examine the use,
distribution and order of moves in 50 abstracts of 40 MA and 10 PhD students.
In order to do this, both quantitative and qualitative methods were used,
different rhetorical structures were compared and analysed and the occurrence
of moves and the use of tense moves were coded and categorized. The findings
showed that the analysed abstracts match with IMRD model. Moreover, the
results demonstrate that the introduction, purpose, method, product, and
conclusion occurred in the abstracts, but Purpose and Product have the highest
occurring percentages and then, Introduction follows. Findings further
revealed that the most common tense used in all abstracts was seen to be
Present tense and the voice was found to be the Active voice.
