Abstract

The present paper seeks to analyze the process types of transitivity, nominalization types, tense usage, and voice choice of Research Article Introductions (RAIs) written by Egyptian and international researchers in linguistics. The corpus of the study consists of 50 RAIs selected from Egyptian and international journals from 2014 to 2021. The study is based on Halliday's (1967) Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG) for identifying processes of transitivity and nominalization types. It also depends on both qualitative and quantitative techniques to analyze the selected data. It has been found that the two groups were similar in terms of transitivity process types. That is, material process which indicate actions, had the highest percentage compared to the other processes. Both samples also used the first kind of nominalization (verb to noun) more frequently than the second one (adjective to noun). As for tense and voice, both Egyptian and international Research Articles (RAs) were found to be similar in using present simple tense and active voice the most. The current paper contributes to a better understanding of the transitivity system, nominalization types, tense usage and voice choice. It is expected to provide Egyptian and apprentice scholars with various conventions of writing RAIs which help them write good quality RAIs meeting international standards.
