Description
Abstracts have been described to be very important parts of a research paper because of increasing competition to be published (Swales and Feak, 2004). This study aims to examine the abstracts from two dimensions, move structure features and verb tense of each move in the abstracts. 25 abstracts of MA theses (English Specialization) from Mandalay University were collected and analyzed based on Swales and Feak’s (2004) five-move model. The result showed that the abstracts analyzed in this study preferred to take a four-move structure (A,M,R,C) with 36%. 28% of the abstracts followed a five-move model which was the model discussed in this study. It was also found that only 64% of the abstracts included M 5(C). Most abstracts began with Move 1(B) or Move 2 (A), and ended with Move 5 (C) or Move 4 (R). To regard with the verb tense, many researchers preferred using the present tense more in M 1,2 and 5(B, A and C) and the past tense in M 3 and 4( M and R). On the whole, regarding move structure, more than half of the abstracts and concerning the verb tense, most abstracts are in keeping with Swales and Feak’s (2004) five-move model and Weissberg and Bucker’s (1997) model.
