As genre modelling advances, describing research articles rhetorical structures becomes crucial. Though secondary to empirical studies, scoping reviews shape scholarly communication by framing analysis and setting epistemological benchmarks. Their introductions act as conceptual lenses, defining interpretive frameworks. However, most rhetorical models, designed for empirical articles, appear to be inadequate for scoping reviews. We propose a genre-based model of rhetorical structure for introductions to scoping reviews. Drawing on a corpus of 40 introductions from Q1 Education journals (2020–2025), we conduct step-bystep move analysis to reconstruct a three-move, nine-step schema tailored to the genre’s analytical mission. The methodological framework employs step-bystep rhetorical annotation, focusing on rhetorical functions, linguistic realisations, and deviations from normative structural expectations. Results show two core steps reproduced in ≥ 97% of the corpus (1.1 ‘scope nomination’ and 2.2 ‘task as reconstruction’), while epistemological positioning (3.2) is comparatively infrequent and often implicit. Median Jaccard of 0.63 indicates a teachable core with optional, stance-related elements; clustering reveals three stable structural profiles. We synthesise functionally efficient phrasings for each step and demonstrate linguistic correlates of stance (e.g., evaluative and hedging verbs/adverbs) relevant to Step 3.2. The model clarifies how introductions to scoping reviews motivate synthesis, frame analytical lenses, and set reconstruction boundaries. Pedagogically, it supports move-aware writing instruction; computationally, it provides patterns for automatic rhetorical tagging and metadiscourse-aware feature design. This study thus contributes to the formalisation and operationalisation of academic discourse analysis.

This article examines an underexplored aspect of French writer Georges Perec’s work: the
influence of the Algerian War (1954–1962) on his literary legacy. While his works contain almost no
direct mentions of the war, the article analyzes how this traumatic historical context permeates the themes,
structure, and style of his writing. It appears that the war provided a ...

The article examines instances of inconsistent anaphoric article usage in the Gothic language. Gothic (4th century CE, East Germanic) exemplifies a language at the initial anaphoric stage of article grammaticalization, where the proto-article pronoun should appear consistently after a referent's first mention—yet violations occur. Beyond literature-documented cases involving locative nouns and terms for ‘multitudes’ of animate ...

Данное исследование фокусируется на раннем периоде творчества американского поэта Уоллеса Стивенса. Проведенный квантитативный анализ позволил определить доминанты метафорической системы этого периода творчества. Было установлено, что центральным смыслообразующим концептом в метафорике раннего творчества У. Стивенса выступает «СУЩЕСТВО». Исследование показывает, что поэтическая картина мира автора в этот период характеризуется тотальным панвитализмом – У. Стивенс наделяет атрибутами субъектности ...

Many studies addressing the differences in the use of lexical bundles in academic English by L1 and L2 writers interpret these differences as a deficiency or deviation that L2 writers need to eliminate. In this paper, we argue that this “deviant” use is not essentially the product of insufficient knowledge of English and/or Anglophone norms ...

Hedges, expressions of doubt used in writing to tone down claims, are crucial in academic discourse, as they weaken assertions and make texts less categorical. Even though hedging in academic writing has attracted scholars’ attention, the number of works focusing on disciplinary variation in the use of hedges in L2 learners’ texts remains relatively scarce. ...
