SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This volume provides a detailed and explicit account of the genre of social science research articles. While previous literature has analyzed some aspects of the research genre separately, this book presents a comprehensive model, which characterizes the generic, registerial and discoursal options as they interweave within a text.
