9.6.7. The distribution of types of cohesive reference in MA theses and RAs

Jegyzet elhelyezéséhez, kérjük, lépj be.!

This section will summarize the results of the comparison of the corpora of RAs and MA theses on the basis of the types of reference. First, the focus will be on demonstratives and pronouns (Section 9.6.7.1), and then Section 9.6.7.2 discusses the main types of comparative reference relevant to describing the characteristics of academic discourse. Throughout this section, quantitative data is presented based on Referential Cohesion Analysis (the method gradually arrived at in stages 1–4 of this research), and interpretations of observed phenomena will be supported with examples from the texts. The presentation of the comparison of the corpora will be combined with practical advice and writing strategies that thesis writers may use to avoid the emerging problems.

In this section, error(s) will be used as a general term for reference errors, especially in the thesis corpus to indicate that something went wrong. Throughout this description of the structure of texts from the whole corpus, I am trying to refrain from using terms that relate to correctness or grammaticality. Instead, is MA theses will be compared to RAs to show what is or is not observable in these corpora. When it comes to structural problems or writing strategies, corresponding patterns in the two corpora will be sought to show what problems occur in theses that experts have already found solutions to.
