Thematic analysis and MAXQDA2022 software examine data collected via an online open-ended questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Students’ approaches to supporting assertions, preferences for sentence structures and terminology, tactics for answering counterarguments, obstacles in different areas of argumentative writing, and overall impressions of argumentative essays are the focus of the research topics. Several significant themes and patterns emerge from the findings, including the significance of supporting statements with evidence, the preference for simple language structures and terminology, minimal engagement with counterarguments, and the difficulties encountered in the introduction, body, and conclusion parts. The policy and language education implications are examined, emphasizing the importance of instructional assistance, vocabulary-building initiatives, critical thinking integration, scaffolded writing instruction, and the use of technology. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the demands of Iranian EFL students and can help guide the creation of successful argumentative writing instruction. More study is needed to investigate new tactics and interventions to improve argumentative writing skills and boost EFL students’ academic achievement.","PeriodicalId":65772,"journal":{"name":"美中外语:英文版","volume":"299 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135469744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also provides a transformational analysis within Minimalist syntax. Restrictive relatives are classified into two types: definite relatives and indefinite relatives. The former type is initiated by the relativizer illi: “that” and modifies a definite antecedent/head noun, and the latter modifies an indefinite antecedent and lacks the relativizer illi: Two relativization strategies are available for ZSA restrictive relative clauses. The first strategy is the employment of resumptive clitics or pronouns, and the second one relates to the utilization of gaps. There is an alternation between the resumptive strategy and the gap strategy in subject and direct object positions. The optional use of gaps in direct object position is only possible when the relativized noun is definite. However, only the resumptive clitic is utilized in other positions (indirect object, prepositional object, and possessor position). In non-island contexts, both relative clauses involving gaps or resumptive clitics are accounted for by an empty operator movement. In island contexts, the null operator movement is not assumed.","PeriodicalId":65772,"journal":{"name":"美中外语:英文版","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135469738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
