ANÁLISIS RETÓRICO-DISCURSIVO DEL GÉNERO ARTÍCULO DE INVESTIGACIÓN EN ESPAÑOL EN EL ÁMBITO DE LA COMUNICACIÓN

Objective : to analyze the rhetorical and discursive features of communication research articles published in Spanish. Methodology : it was a genre analysis that integrated the methodological premises of the New Rhetoric School, the Swalesian Model and the Multiperspective Genre Analysis Model. Results : The predominant structure was Introduction-Methodology-Results-Results-Conclusions (I-M-R-C). Some linguistic realizations of moves and steps are included to illustrate writing practices. Conclusions : the analysis of the movements and steps of these sections showed that there are features that differentiate communication research articles from other discursive communities. There is a need for new studies to know other discursive features of this community and its genres. Those studies will be helpful for novel researchers and writers' training.
