Description
Summary:In this article, as main objective, we investigated and compared the socio-rhetoric description of the Methodology unit on the experimental article genre in different disciplinary cultures, namely in the Linguistics field and in the Medicine field. We based our studies on Swales (1990) (CARS model – Create a Research Space), Oliveira (2002, 2003) and Nwogu (1997) for the socio-rhetorical description, and on Hyland (2000, 20009) for discussing disciplinary cultures. From the analysis of a corpus, composed by ten articles of each area published in A and B Qualis journals and congress proceedings, our results pointed out culture particularities impact on the distribution of information in texts and revealed different socio-rhetorical descriptions in the two fields.
