چکیده:
Literature abounds with genre analysis studies on different sections of Research Articles in various languages and fields; however, scant attention has been given to Persian articles. Hence, this genre-based study analyzed the rhetorical move structure of conclusion sections in three different disciplines: applied linguistics, psychology, and Persian literature. A corpus with 30 articles from leading international and Persian journals was devised. This corpus was analyzed for the move structure based on Yang and Allison's (2003) framework. After analyzing each article, the major moves were extracted and the frequencies were calculated and compared. Although the cross-disciplinary and cross‐linguistic analyses unfolded significant variation regarding Move 2, they revealed no marked differences in conclusion sections of the articles on psychology and applied linguistics. However, Persian literature articles displayed more variation, which, in turn, may suggest that in the Parisian articles, writers follow a standard of their own for writing conclusion sections.. The study has pedagogical implications for academic writing courses.

A Comparison of Moves in Conclusion Sections of Research Articles in Psychology, Persian Literature and Applied Linguistics 1 Seyyed Mohammad Reza Adel Assistant Professor, Department of English Language, Faculty of Literature and Humanities, Hakim Sabzevari University, Sabzevar Rokhsareh Ghorbani Moghadam PhD Student, Department of English Language, Faculty of Literature and Humanities, Hakim Sabzevari University, Sabzevar Received on May 12, 2015 Accepted on December 5, 2015 Abstract Literature abounds with genre analysis studies on different sections of Research Articles in various languages and fields; however, scant attention has been given to Persian articles.
Hence, this genre-based study analyzed the rhetorical move structure of conclusion sections in three different disciplines: applied linguistics, psychology, and Persian literature.
Thus, this study is an attempt to explore the possible similarities and differences in type and frequency of moves of the conclusion domain of research articles written in Persian in the field of literature, psychology, and English applied linguistics with reference to the Yang and Allison's (2003) model described for conclusion of English RAs. The conclusion section for analysis was selected because this section plays a significant role in RAs; through conclusion the researcher presents a brief summary of the entire research and the value of finding; in a nutshell the value of research.
For instance, Moritz, Meurer and Dellagnelo's (2008) study, which compared three corpora of conclusion sections in the field of applied linguistics written by three groups of different authors (Portuguese L1, English L1, & English L2) reported the cyclical structure of Moves.
