Abstract

Rhetorical studies within research articles have received a growing concern among linguists worldwide. However, studies on this significant area to create incremental innovation are rarely found. Understanding this need has attracted the authors to conduct the present study by investigating rhetorical strategies authors use to create incremental innovation in their research articles and analyzing linguistic features used to create innovation for their current research. In an attempt to address these purposes, the present study analyzed 37 research article introductions (RAIs) from the disciplines of Applied Linguistics published in four reputable international journals (Q1) with the Scimago Journal Ranks (SJR) higher than 0,61. This study employed a newly designed framework and linguistic feature approaches from previous studies for the analysis. The results showed three rhetorical strategies to create incremental innovation in research articles. However, of these three, most authors tend to employ Strategy 2, Presenting the existing knowledge – and then – improving it in the present study, more than the other two strategies. Then, to realize incremental innovation, they employed six linguistic features, but of these six, two features (connective adverbs and phrases denoting examining a particular issue) appeared to be the most dominant in the present data.

Abstract

This study intends to analyze communicative strategies to respond to IELTS essay writing questions. It used a genre-based approach for the analysis, using 20 IELTS essay writing samples and receiving band seven. The results revealed that IELTS test takers in this study employed two communicative strategies to respond to questions: presenting introductory responses and responding to questions either explicitly or implicitly. However, while they used simple sentences more than the other sentence types in presenting introductory responses, they used more complex sentences to respond to the questions. Then, they tend to write these two communicative strategies in simple present tense forms. The implications of these findings are discussed in the discussion section.

Abstract

This study analyze the rhetorical structures employed in beauty brand sales videos on Instagram aiming to understand how they engage viewers and influence purchasing behaviour. Using a genre-based analytical approach, especially the model suggested by (Warsidi, Adnan, et al., 2024), the study identifies three main rhetorical moves across 15 selected sales videos. These videos were chosen based on data sets criteria. The findings reveal that establishing customer interest is the most dominant move in all samples, with strategies such as presenting product benefits and using persuasive interaction language appearing most frequently. Conversely, strategies like greeting the audience or providing taglines appeared less often and were considered optional. The study explores language frames used to increase engagement on social media platforms, including emotionally resonant queries, descriptive product language, personal suggestions, and urgent calls to action. By combining qualitative and quantitative methods, this study provides valuable insights into how rhetorical strategies influence consumer behavior on social media platforms. The research emphasizes the importance of creating content and the strategic role of language and appearance in selling products effectively. This research contributes to understanding digital marketing and offers implications for rhetorical studies, social media marketing, and English for Business Purposes (EBP).

Abstract

This study employs Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to explore the argumentation strategies or Topoi analyses used to justify the importance of the Emancipated Learning Policy (Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka/MBKM) in response to the globalization of education. The discourse of globalization of education around the world, including in Indonesia, has been a topic of growing concern that attracts researchers and academics. In the context of Indonesia, this country deserves a close look since globalization has shaped and reshaped the education policy and practices, as well as enforced the shift of higher education curriculum. Besides unfolding the argumentation strategies utilized by the government to legitimize the policy, the study sheds new light on an alternative analysis to comprehend the marketization of higher education in Indonesia. The topoi analysis was used to identify how globalization shapes the policy and how the national authority discursively justifies the claim of its importance. By analyzing topos of urgency utilized in policy texts and the ministers speech, the findings reveal that the presence of globalization invasion in the policy is evident, as identified in the following arguments, namely link and match, quick change, competitiveness, and collaboration. These findings convincingly show that the education policy and its implementation should be advanced to match the global values of globalization, which is expected to bring a positive impact to national education, especially in the higher education context.

Abstract

Citation is very significant in academic writing because it may create engagements with earlier findings and improve academic reputations. Studies on this area within academic writings have been widely conducted with varied purposes, but citation functions have received a small portion of scholarly attention. Besides, studies on this area in the Indonesian context are hardly found in the literature. Understanding this need has encouraged me to analyze citation functions in Indonesian History and Law research articles (RAs) because these two disciplines have been rarely investigated in genre studies, particularly in the Indonesian context. To reach this purpose, this study analyzed 30 Indonesian RAs from the History and Law disciplines to discover whether the functions are either to provide background information, provide evidence, or present beliefs, ideas, and issues circulated. The results revealed that citations found in the present study function as background information, evidence, and to present beliefs, ideas, issues circulated. However, these functions appear differently in each section. While these findings theoretically may contribute to the literature regarding citation functions in each section, they practically may provide awareness of article authors regarding the functions of citations in writing RAs.
