Abstract:

Argumentation in research articles has been studied in a number of research communities, including sociology of science, rhetoric of science, applied linguistics, computational linguistics, and knowledge representation. This talk draws on work from those communities as well as my own and my students’ models of the biomedical papers’ argumentation. In this talk I will suggest how empirical research articles weave these three types of argument structures, relating to research methods, citations, and rhetorical moves.
