Version of Record

This paper explores how to negotiate with reviewers in Discussion sections of research papers. It has been claimed that in this section writers should demonstrate the value of research findings relating to previous studies in the field. However, there are few studies which examine the most frequently occurring words and their clusters in order to persuade evaluators to follow writer’s arguments and support their claims. This research investigates relevant vocabulary selections and effective expressions in the Discussion sections by comparing with academic article corpus consisting of more than one million words. The results indicate that hedges are frequently used in rhetorical moves to present findings and discuss theoretical contributions to the research area. Moreover, they are used to indicate the limitations and future study areas.
