The Use of Reporting Verbs in Academic Writing of Different Disciplines
(2021-11) Abbood, Mohanad Khudhur Abbood
Reporting verbs (RVs) are a central feature of scholarly writing that allows authors to express themselves. They are used to attribute materials to another source and enable authors to communicate their stance. However, few studies have been conducted using the functional theory in analyzing the reporting verbs. Besides, despite the increasing studies on reporting verbs, limited studies have focused on reporting verbs among Turkish authors. Therefore, this study investigates reporting verbs in Turkish articles using introduction and literature review sections of 80 articles from soft and hard domains. A qualitative approach has been utilized, selecting eight different journals. Hand analysis has been used in analyzing the data. The findings revealed that all the six process types of (RVs) identified by Halliday (1985) are used in the research articles examined, in both disciplines, hard and soft. Relational verbs record the highest occurrence in the hard domain, followed by verbal RVs, which occupy the second rank. On the other hand, in the soft domain, frequencies of verbal verbs occupied the first rank, followed by mental verbs. All students and postgraduates benefit in the academic writing field because they use appropriate reporting verbs and avoid using them randomly.
