Chapter Five RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

5.1 Distribution of Reporting Verbs and Intertextual Forms in Two Corpora

Reporting verbs are those verbs used to elaborate an idea or present a fact in either a direct or indirect way (Swales, 1990) in academic discourse to convey the opinions or outcomes  of  other  people.  Reporting  verbs  can  be  used  to  report  the  speech  of  others (Slade, 2003). Generally speaking, reporting verbs are verbs used to quote, introduce or evaluate other researches, theories or viewpoints. Reporting verbs can not only convey the reported information, but also express the narrator?s own stance including feelings, attitudes, assessments, etc. Different reporting verbs stand for different reporting forms therefore different intertextual forms.
