摘要

本描述性研究旨在研究加纳两所大学两个学科的论文致谢(TA)的结构特征。从化学和英语领域抽取了40名助教。Hyland(2004)的一般移动结构在分析抽样的TAs时被修正。研究人员还根据这两所大学的学术风格指南对数据进行了审查。研究结果表明,两个领域的ta的结构特征有所不同。该研究还发现,在强制性的阐述步骤中,DoC作者通常使用3个步骤,DoE作者通常使用4个步骤。进一步发现,DoC的作者大多对贡献者的技术支持表示感谢,而DoE的作者则对他们为研究提供材料的助手表示感谢。据透露,这些数据遵循了机构风格指南。本文认为,尽管两个领域的翻译在语境上的差异很小,但两个领域之间仍然存在微妙的差异和相似之处。因此,我们建议应该进一步研究这些语言形式的变化,这些变化解释了翻译的话语风格。最后,通过语料库分析工具对研究背景下的大数据进行分析,可以补充本研究。

Academic House Style and Acknowledgement Writing: the Case of Two Ghanaian Universities
This descriptive study sought to examine the structural features of Thesis Acknowledgements (TA) from two disciplines in two Ghanaian Universities. Forty TAs were sampled from the fields of Chemistry and English.  Hyland’s (2004)   generic move structure was modified in analyzing the sampled TAs. The data was also examined on the basis of the two institutions’ academic style guides for conformity. The findings indicate that the structural features of TAs from the two fields differ.  It also revealed that out of the seven steps identified in the obligatory Elaborative Move, DoC writers generally use three steps, and DoE writers mostly use four steps. It is further revealed that while writers from the DoC mostly acknowledged contributors for their technical support, writers from DoE acknowledged their helpers for providing materials for the research. It was revealed that the data followed the institutional style guide.  The paper argues that though the contextual difference in the TAs from both fields is minimal, subtle variances and parallels still exist between the two fields. Therefore, it is suggested that these variations in linguistic forms that account for the discursive styles of the TAs should be further examined. Finally, additional analysis by corpus analytic tools applied to large data from the research context could complement this study.
