MA theses and RAs are both written texts following the rigorous Introduction-Method-Results-Discussion (IMRD) pattern with slight variations. RAs tend to incorporate a review of the literature in the introduction of the paper, while MA theses always have a longer section on the theoretical background of the study. Both use formal academic registers and follow similar stylistic conventions (APA, MLA), sometimes with minor modifications according to the requirements of the given journal or institution. Alongside the running text, they may contain tables, figures or diagrams to illustrate the content of the text.

As Halliday and Hasan (1976) explain, mode is not only “the channel taken by the language” but also its “genre, or rhetorical mode” (22). While the two types of research paper differ in their review of the literature, the IMRD structure is present in both; therefore, in this respect, Swales’ (1990) move-step analysis is applicable to them in identifying and comparing their rhetorical structures. Clearly, this book does not have enough space for an in-depth discussion of the rhetorical structure of our two corpora; however, results will at times be compared to Swales’ (1990) analysis in the interpretation of the results in Chapters 6 to 9.
