Abstract

     Genre analysis can be seen from two different angles. First, it can be seen as a reflection of the complex realities of the world of communication and second as a pedagogically effective tool for the design of language teaching programs. This study investigates the macrostructure of linguistic research articles (RAs) written by Iraqi university instructors of English from a genre-based perspective. The study corpus consists of 25 linguistics RAs published in some national academic journals. To achieve the study aims, Swales’ (1990, 2001) theoretical framework of generic structure is adopted to explore the macrostructure of linguistics RAs. Results reveal that the discoursal organization of linguistics RAs is based on five main schematic moves. On the basis of these findings, a number of pedagogical implications are suggested.
