Grammatical Forms of Text-Organising Metatext: A Slovene-English Contrastive Analysis

Abstract

V članku so predstavljeni rezultati slovensko-angleške kontrastivne analize slovničnih oblik, ki se pojavljajo v dveh vrstah metabesedilnih elementov, to so napovedi in sklici. Analiza je narejena na korpusu znanstvenih člankov. Glavne razlike so v rabi prihodnjega in sedanjega časa v napovedih ter v rabi preteklih časov in stavkov brez osebne glagolske oblike v sklicih.

The paper presents the results of a Slovene-English contrastive analysis of grammatical forms found in two metatext categories: previews and reviews. A corpus of research articles (RAs) is used in the analysis. The main differences that emerge are in the use of the future and present tense in previews and in the use of past tenses and abbreviated clauses in reviews.
