The data included a sample of 60 introductions (i.e. ten each from applied linguistics, sociology, and psychology within humanities, and ten each from biology, agriculture, and geology within basic sciences) . Humphrey and Economou’s (2015) onion model of discourse analysis was adopted, and MAXQDA 10 software of qualitative analysis was used for coding. The findings revealed similarities and differences not only within but also between the two disciplines, which can be attributed to the nature of disciplines as well as the generically accepted conventions in each discipline. Moreover, the results of the study highlighted the predominance of descriptive and analytical phases in textbook introductions not only in isolation but also in establishing more complicated genres like persuasion and critique. The study highlights the importance of teaching which is concerned with learners'rhetorical consciousness-raising of the disciplines as well as the discipline-specific lexicogrammatical features in expert texts.  \nRésumé  \nCette étude visait à examiner attentivement les variations génériques disciplinaires et interdisciplinaires des introductions de manuels dans les sciences humaines et les sciences fondamentales en se référant au modèle de l’oignon. Les données comprenaient un échantillon de 60 introductions, c’est- à -dire dix introductions dans chacune des disciplines des sciences humaines (la linguistique appliquée, la sociologie et la psychologie) et dix autres pour chacune des disciplines des sciences fondamentales (biologie, agriculture et géologie) . Le modèle de l’oignon d’Humphrey et Economou (2015) pour l’analyse du discours a été adopté et le logiciel d’analyse qualitative MAXQDA 10 a été utilisé pour le codage. Les résultats ont révélé des similitudes et des différences non seulement au sein des deux disciplines, mais aussi entre elles, ce qui peut être attribué à la nature des disciplines ainsi qu'aux conventions généralement acceptées dans chaque discipline.

However, previous studies have been relatively limited in their scope, as they focused on a few specific genres, and there seems to be room for studies that take into account other disciplines.  \nIt is now well established that academic textbooks are an important genre in academic settings. Hyland (2000) contended that “university textbooks are something of a neglected genre; little is known about their rhetorical structure and their relation","cbCaieaP3S8WCapn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieaP3S8WCapn","pdf",463251,32,"English","# Abstract\n## Research aim and scope\n## The onion model and methodology\n## Findings and implications","[{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study scrutinizes how textbook introductions vary generically within and across humanities and basic sciences, using the onion model framework.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the data collected and analyzed?\",\"answer\":\"It used 60 introductions (ten from each specified discipline group) and applied Humphrey and Economou’s onion model, with qualitative coding performed using MAXQDA 10.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the study find about textbook introductions?\",\"answer\":\"Introductions show similarities and differences both within and between the two disciplines, and they commonly feature descriptive and analytical phases that help establish more complex genres such as persuasion and critique.\"}]","A Textual Discourse Analysis of Introductions in Textbooks of Humanities and Basic Sciences | PDF",1792082392,81]
