Abstract
Descripción
Sumario:The abstract is a specialized type of academic discourse, like a lecture, literature review or research article, and therefore related to the expression and transmission of knowledge. The scientific literature offers numerous studies on the abstract as an academic genre based on corpora created by researchers who are themselves experts in their respective disciplines (Cavalieri 2014, Dos Santos 1996, Lorés & Bondi 2014, Saeeaw & Tangkiengsirisin 2014). Nonetheless, there exist relatively few studies which analyse how student writers acquire mastery over this genre (Aktas & Cortes 2008, Díez Prados 2018). As a contribution to filling this gap in the research, in the present study we will examine a corpus of abstracts written by undergraduates, focusing in particular on their use of interactive metadiscourse markers and the relationship between such markers and the rhetorical structure of the texts.
