Signalling the organisation of written texts: hyper-themes in management and history essays
Keywords:
hyper-Themes, referring expressions, EAP, lexicogrammatical patterns.Abstract
In this paper, I will examine how the fundamental processes of technicalising and rationalising are inflected in the higherlevel structuring of written texts, via hyper-Themes. Through an examination of First year University essays in Management and History, the role of hyper-Themes in the development of basic argumentative frameworks will be identified. It will be seen that hyper-Themes have a dual function, establishing retrospective and prospective connections to the argumentative framework, and that they have distinctive lexicogrammatical and colligational patterns, according to the discipline.
