Encoding processes in five physical sciences research articles: A systemic functional perspective

This paper considers the encoding of processes in five physical sciences research articles. Processes may be encoded as finite verbs, non-finite verb forms or as nominalizations. Relational process is the most common process type for finite verbs, followed by mental process as the second most common...

Cette contribution est une étude de l’encodage des procès dans cinq articles de recherche dans le domaine des sciences physiques. Un procès peut être encodé par un verbe conjugué, par une forme verbale non conjuguée, ou par le biais d’une nominalisation. En ce qui concerne les verbes conjugués, le type de procès le plus fréquent est le procès relationnel, suivi du procès mental, une catégorie dans laquelle les procès mathématiques constituent un sous-groupe important. En ce qui concerne les formes non-conjuguées, le type le plus fréquent est le procès mental, et pour les nominalisations, le procès matériel. Du point de vue des procès eux-mêmes, les procès matériels ont une forte chance d’être encodés comme des verbes conjugués. Les procès mentaux cognitifs ont une chance relativement forte d’être encodés comme des verbes conjugués, avec les formes non conjuguées comme préférence secondaire. Dans le cas des procès mentaux mathématiques, les formes non conjuguées seraient une première préférence, avec des verbes conjugués en deuxième position. Ces résultats sont importants pour des chercheurs et doctorants non-anglophones, qui souhaitent publier leurs articles en anglais.

description This paper considers the encoding of processes in five physical sciences research articles. Processes may be encoded as finite verbs, non-finite verb forms or as nominalizations. Relational process is the most common process type for finite verbs, followed by mental process as the second most common type, with mathematical processes forming an important subgroup within this type. Mental process is the most common type for non-finite verb forms, and material process the most common type for nominalizations. Viewing this from the point of view of the processes themselves, material processes have a strong chance of being encoded as nominalizations, and relational processes of being encoded as finite verbs. For mental cognitive processes, there is a reasonably strong chance of them being encoded as finite verbs, with non-finite forms being a second preference. For mental mathematical processes, non-finite forms would provide the first preference with finite verbs being a second choice.
