| This study presents an analysis of the rhetorical patterns of introductory sections of 20 Geography and Environmental Planning research articles (RAs) in English and Persian language. The aim behind this analysis was to see if there are any similarities or differences in RA introductions written by authors from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds within the same discipline. The two sets of RA introductions were compared in terms of Swalesian moves, voice, tense, and modality. Unlike Persian RA introductions, it was found that English ones conform to Swales model. It appeared that in Persian introductions Move1 (Establishing the Territory) and Move3 (Occupying the Niche) are obligatory, while Move2 (Establishing the Niche) is optional. Moreover, the occurrence of cyclicity makes English introductions more complex. There is a striking similarity in terms of the high proportion of active voice and simple present tense, and rare use of modals in English and Persian introductions which may show writers’ certainty in presenting facts. This phenomenon could be attributed to the features of discipline community that authors are members of it. |
