Hyu, Mihye & So-Woo Chung. 2016. A Contrastive Rhetorical Analysis of the Introductions to Research Articles on Business. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 41-1, 181-199. This paper explores the differences in rhetoric between research papers on business written in English by Korean scholars and those written by scholars from English-speaking societies. The contrastive analysis of the introductions of 60 papers, in terms of a slightly modified version of Swales’s(2004) CARS model proposed in Sheldon(2011), found that all of the three moves, M1, M2 and M3, were present in all the introductions of both corpora, and that M2 recorded the lowest frequency (10% in the corpus from English-speaking societies and 11% in the Korean corpus). The frequencies of M1 and M3 were 28% and 62% respectively in the English-speaking societies’ corpus, and 46% and 43% in the Korean corpus. This implies that Korean business researchers allocate more space for general background information and justification of their research than the research outputs, while the business researchers in English-speaking societies put more effort on the latter than the former.
