Abstract

Abstract The emergence of the genre tradition contributed a lot in improving and facilitating the academic writing process for EFL researchers. One of the first genres that received much attention is the research article with its different sections. Accordingly, the present study aims at revealing the generic or rhetorical structure of some Algerian research articles conclusion section written in the field of linguistics. In other words, it attempts to investigate the structural organization of the conclusion section written by Algerian researchers. The study used Yang and Allison’s (2003) move framework to analyze the research articles conclusion. In order to carry out this study we adopted a genre analysis approach to academic texts. Fourteen (14) research articles conclusions, written in English in the field of linguistics, were analyzed in this study. The research articles were published in the scientific journal ‘Language and Translation’. The findings of the study showed that the Algerian linguistic research articles conclusions written in English seemed to violate the model suggested by Yang and Allison (2003). That is because only one move appeared in the whole corpus with total absence of some moves and steps. In addition, the study unveiled the structure of these conclusions following the obtained results. Finally, the study puts some recommendations and might have some pedagogical implications.
