That is exactly what this field is trying to figure out. Cognitive and Behavioral Neurologists focus on the thought process of humans; both conscious and subconscious. People in the field focus on ones perception affecting their action and why people perceive the way they do. ]]> 2022-04-20 15:13:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2150520146 Introduction to Reports cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2150520608 There is not much variation in writing in this field. The genre I am going to look at is reports. As with any scientific field, the most prominent form of writing will be the reports made from the experiments conducted. The reports written are not for entertainment and thus, are not creative with most people finding them boring to read. ]]> 2022-04-20 15:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2150520608 Circulation Through the Community cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2150521342 The way reports are circulated throughout the community is through publicized journals, either print or online. ]]> 2022-04-20 15:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2150521342 Identifying Moves cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2150523672 2022-04-20 15:15:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2150523672 Identifying How Moves Help Carry Out the Genres Actions cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2150524159 2022-04-20 15:15:29 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2150524159 Identifying Options and Variations cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2150524832 2022-04-20 15:15:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2150524832 Identifying Common Language Features cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2150525492 2022-04-20 15:16:17 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2150525492 Critiquing Rhetorical Moves cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2150526088 2022-04-20 15:16:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2150526088 Example of a Report 1 cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2155423510 2022-04-24 17:43:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2155423510 Which Moves Seem Obligatory or Necessary to Achieve the Genre's Action(s)? cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2155429172 A necessary move is for the author to establish their credibility. 

Another move that I have seen when reading through various reports of the use of research and building off of previous research. ]]> 2022-04-24 17:52:26 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2155429172 Which Moves Seem Common, But Not Necessary? cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2155429603 Another move that is common but not completely necessary is over explaining what is being analyzed in the report.

Another rare move is the author directly addressing themself with 'I'.]]> 2022-04-24 17:55:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2155430941 How Does Each Move Work to Achieve the Action or Goal of the Genre? cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2155432088 Each move helps to build credibility of the author and establish their niche.

In terms of the audience, the author does not need to use their moves on explaining the subject in much detail as the audience for this genre is going to be those interested in the niche these reports fill.]]> 2022-04-24 18:02:09 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2155434962 Example of a Report 2 cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2155436266 2022-04-24 18:04:14 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2155436266 Using Moves Correctly Makes the Piece cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2155440451 *possible language issues]]> 2022-04-24 18:11:48 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2155440451 cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2155443799 2022-04-24 18:17:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2155443799 Example Report 3 cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2155446781 2022-04-24 18:23:28 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2155446781 example report 4 cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2155447242 2022-04-24 18:24:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2155447242 What Organizational Patterns Are Used Among the Moves? cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2157051573 The reports all seem to follow a general formula. They begin with an introduction, the thesis always at the end. The introduction always introduces the reason for research and an overview to the issue at hand. After the introduction there is slightly more leeway for the formatting of the paper. Some pieces take the next few paragraphs to explain the purposes why research is needed and others jump straight into the results of the research. However, there is always a concluding paragraph, which can be considered the discussion portion of the research. The reports form this community are similar to the primary research paper we composed.]]> 2022-04-25 17:45:52 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2157051573 How Do Different Audiences or Contexts Seem to Affect the Moves? cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2157053549 There is seemingly not much variation due to audiences or contexts. The authors are writing what they have found with little need to change for the audience as the audience itself is interested in the niche the piece is filling.]]> 2022-04-25 17:46:57 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2157053549 How Do Writers Use Language? cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2157057908 The authors use language very assertively and personal opinion is left out as the purpose of these reports is to document outcomes of research.]]> 2022-04-25 17:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2157057908 How is Language Used to Carry Out the Moves You've Identified? cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2157073460 The language in the reports I have analyzed is very similar. In each report the sentences are on the longer end and contain plenty of commas for separation while still mainting the continuous thought. 

In a majority of the papers, the author does not address themself at all and stick strictly to the research conducted and the results. In the few papers where the author does address themself, they address themself using "I".  

A common theme is also the lack of contractions. As mentioned above, the authors tend to not address themselves. 

Another common theme is using language to prompt a chronological order to what their research is building off of.

Most of the papers are written in past and present tense, never future. 

There is also abundant jargon being used form this community in the reports. Yet the reports are not difficult to read or understand from an outsiders standpoint.]]> 2022-04-25 17:56:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2157073460 Video Explaining the Importance of Language cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2157393476 2022-04-25 21:51:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2157393476 Do All Moves Have a Clear Purpose and Help Carry Out the Social Actions of the Genre? cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2157400424 Yes, the moves in this genre have a clear purpose and that is to declare the niche and give the results necessary.]]> 2022-04-25 22:00:18 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2157400424 What is the Significance Behind the Sequence of the Moves? cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2157401048 The order of the moves build up credibility to speak on the subject and create a more fact based report.]]> 2022-04-25 22:01:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2157401048 What Are Consequences for the Writer of Other Users If Certain Moves Are Included, or Not? cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2157401985 The piece could be more difficult to understand and authority over the topic may not be asserted.]]> 2022-04-25 22:02:18 UTC https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2157401985 Who Seems to Have Freedom to Break From Common Moves? Who Does Not? cecelia_scheffler https://padlet.com/cecelia_scheffler/dg96nzcyf6et5ej5/wish/2157414563 The experts in the field or those who are well known throughout the field are able to deviate from the common moves as they have already established their credibility to speak on the subject.
