Resumo: This study aims to compare the Introduction section of a number of medical research articles written by non-native speakers of English (Iranian) and English native speakers in terms of their rhetorical structures. The articles published in ISI-indexed journals have been investigated using the models presented by Nwogu and Halliday. The models are related to Moves/Sub-moves and grammatical metaphors, respectively. Using statistical tests such as chi-square tests for goodness of fit and Mann-Whitney U tests, the authors have found that the Iranians used fewer Moves/Sub-moves and grammatical metaphors compared to native speakers. Awareness of this academic writing practice may contribute to pave the ground for Iranian researchers to publish their articles in world-known journals.Keywords: genre, writing, research articles, SFL, ESP, ESL, grammatical metaphors.

Os artigos publicados em revistas indexadas ISI foram investigados usando os modelos apresentados por Nwogu e por Halliday. Os modelos estão relacionados a movimentos/ sub-movimentos e metáforas gramaticais, respectivamente. Usando testes estatísticos como os testes de qui-quadrado e U Mann-Whitney, os autores descobriram que os iranianos usaram menos movimentos/ submovimentos retóricos e metáforas gramaticais em comparação com falantes nativos. Uma conscientização desta prática de escrita acadêmica pode apontar um caminho para que pesquisadores iranianos possam publicar seus artigos em revistas mundialmente conhecidas.Palavras-chave: gênero, redação, artigos de pesquisa, SFL, ESP, ESL, gramaticais metáforas.Unisinos2014-12-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/article/view/cld.2014.123.07Calidoscópio; Vol. 12 No. 3 (2014): September/December; 323-334Calidoscópio; v. 12 n. 3 (2014): Setembro/Dezembro; 323-3342177-6202reponame:Calidoscópio (Online)instname:Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)instacron:Unisinosenghttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/article/view/cld.2014.123.07/4359Mozaheb, Mohammad AminSaeidi, MahnazAhangari, Saeidehinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2014-12-26T13:21:17Zoai:ojs2.revistas.unisinos.br:article/7840Revistahttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopioPUBhttps://revistas.unisinos.br/index.php/calidoscopio/oaicmira@unisinos.br || cmira@unisinos.br2177-62022177-6202opendoar:2014-12-26T13:21:17Calidoscópio (Online) - Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS)false
