Al-Ali and Yara B. Sahawneh Rhetorical and Textual Organization of English and Arabic PhD Dissertation Abstracts in Linguistics Abstract This study compares English and Arabic PhD dissertation abstracts in the field of linguistics in an attempt to study the rhetorical and linguistic variations between the abstracts written in English and those written in Arabic. To this end, we have analyzed the rhetorical components that constitute the macrostructure of fifty English PhD dissertation abstracts written by English native speakers and those underlying fifty Arabic PhD dissertations written by native Arabic speakers following Swales‘ (1990) CARS model of RA introductions and Bhatia‘s (1993) IMRD move structure. The results showed differences between the two sets of data in generic structure preferences in terms of the type and frequency of moves and the linguistic realizations of these moves. The rhetorical variations across the two languages are most likely due to socio- cultural and academic expectations. The differences related to certain linguistic realizations such as voice and tense choice are ascribed either to inherent linguistic differences between the two languages or to academic practice. The study highlights the importance of teaching abstracts writing skills to PhD candidates. 1. Abstract genre as an academic practice The abstract that accompanies research articles and dissertations is a notable practice in academic research as it constitutes a gateway to the reading or publication of a research article or a thesis (Lores 2004: 281). Salager-Mayer (1992) perceives this genre as a distinctive category of discourse intended to communicate factual new knowledge for members of different academic communities. The abstracts play a pivotal role in professional reading as they help readers decide on the relevance of an article to their interests (Busa 2005) and give researchers an adequate view of whether a particular longer text is worth reading. Similarly, Martin- Martin (2003, 2005) notes that abstracts function as a time saving device by informing the readers about the content of the article, indicating whether the full text merits further attention.

SAHAWNEH PhD dissertation abstract writing is an academic practice that all candidates from different fields have to adopt when they write a full PhD thesis while doing their postgraduate course or research. In most cases writing a PhD dissertation is only attempted once in a graduate student‘s career. The great majority of dissertations are prefaced by an informative
