چکیده | ||
Despite paradigmatic research advancements and movements in applied linguistics, the issue of rhetoric, which serves as one of the fundamental pillars of each paradigm, remains largely unaccounted for. Considering the commensurability of argumentation and meta-analysis, coupled with the increasing rate of meta-analytic studies in the field of applied linguistics, there arises a need to examine the argumentation behavior of applied linguistics’ meta-analysts. As such, following research synthesis techniques and an argument mining approach, we examined the academic argumentation genre of meta-analysis published in leading applied linguistics journals through argument-mining techniques in light of the modified Toulmin framework proposed by Qin and Karabacak (2010). The current study, employing the modified Toulmin framework, examined the argumentative writing components represented in the introduction section of 54 meta-analytic studies published in leading journals of applied linguistics through argument-mining techniques. Our findings highlight the complexity and argumentativeness of the meta-analysis genre. We further found that the Modified Toulmin Model is implementable for the task of argument mining, which can have a great impact on argumentation, meta-analysis, and argumentative academic writing. Implications and recommendations for academic argumentative writers and meta-analyzers are discussed. | ||

بررسی نگارش استدلالی در مقاله های متا آنالیزی در رشته زبان شناسی کاربردی براساس رویکرد برهان کاوی | ||
چکیده [English] | ||
با وجود پیشرفتها و حرکتهای پژوهشی پارادایماتیک در زبانشناسی کاربردی، چیزی که تقریباً صورت نگرفته است، موضوع بلاغت بهعنوان یکی از ارکان اساسی هر پارادایم است. با توجه به قیاس پذیری استدلال و فراتحلیل و با توجه به افزایش نرخ مطالعات فرا تحلیلی در حوزه زبان شناسی کاربردی، به نظر می رسد بررسی رفتار استدلالی فراتحلیلان زبان شناسی کاربردی ضروری باشد. به این ترتیب، با استفاده از تکنیکهای سنتز تحقیق و رویکرد استدلال کاوی، نوبسیندگان ژانر استدلال آکادمیک متاآنالیز منتشر شده در مجلات زبانشناسی کاربردی پیشرو را از طریق تکنیکهای استدلال کاوی در پرتو چارچوب اصلاحشده تولمین پیشنهاد شده توسط Qin و Karabacak (2010) بررسی کردیم. مطالعه حاضر، با استفاده از چارچوب اصلاحشده تولمین، مؤلفههای نوشتاری استدلالی ارائهشده در بخش مقدمه 54 مطالعه فرا تحلیلی منتشر شده در مجلات پیشرو زبانشناسی کاربردی را از طریق تکنیکهای استدلال کاوی بررسی کرد. یافته های ما پیچیدگی و استدلالی بودن ژانر متاآنالیز را برجسته می کند. ما همچنین دریافتیم که مدل اصلاحشده تولمین برای کار استدلال کاوی قابل اجرا است که میتواند تأثیر زیادی بر استدلال، متاآنالیز و نوشتن آکادمیک استدلالی داشته باشد. مفاهیم و توصیه هایی برای نویسندگان استدلالی دانشگاهی و متاآنالیزورها مورد بحث قرار می گیرد. | ||
