Comparative Analysis of Rhetorical Moves in Student and Professional Project Proposal Abstracts
Business and Professional Communication Quarterly. 2024. Vol. 87. No. 1. P. 60–73.
Currently, the analysis of rhetorical moves is extensively applied to business genre
conventions. This paper adopts a corpus-assisted genre approach to compare three
major rhetorical moves in corpora of students’ and professionals’ project proposal
abstracts to elicit evidence-based recommendations for the pedagogy of business
communication. The findings indicate that, while overall features in the proposal
abstracts written by actual business professionals and those by students of business
vary quantitatively but not qualitatively, students focus more on the aim of the
project, and professionals tend to evenly highlight all sides of the project and position
it within the context.

promotional pressure. The present paper addresses this gap by testing whether the widely reported trend towards research “hype” is ...

This leaves unexplored the issue of Russia's normative power in the region, i.e. the way Russia's domestic identity discourse shapes domestic ...
