Article: A contrastive analysis of English and Hungarian theoretical research article introductions
Authors: Anett Árvay and Gyula Tankó
The main task of this article is to find out whether the structure of research articles written in languages other than English is the same or different from the structure of articles written by Anglo-American authors. This research question has two sub-issues. First one is whether the CARS Model accurately describes the introduction of English theoretical research articles and second one the differences of rhetorical patterns of English and Hungarian theoretical research paper introductions.
Till today no research has been conducted to contrast the rhetorical structure of research papers written in English and Hungarian. The selected discipline became linguistics and the primary materials examined were an english and hungarian academic articles, particulary their introductions. From each language were selected twenty academic articles focusing on linguistics. The framework for analysis was chosen a CARS Model for its structure of academic articles and used methodology was a comparative analysis of chosen linguistics academic articles in English and Hungarian.
The authors found that English introductions are much longer and more thoroughly divided into paragraphs than the Hungarian introductions. In addition the English introductions are clear and consistent in numbering and labelling and Hungarian introductions varies not only by journals but also by articles. In general was found that CARS Model does not capture fully the characteristic features of theoretical research article introduction.
