Colleagues, I have updated the corpuslab.com website with a simple concordance/collocation interface. You can search IMRDC sections of research articles in Arts, Economics, Engineering, Psychology and Social Science. It is not heavy-duty text analysis; you get 100 hits. You can sort by clicking the left or right context and you can highlight hedges, boosters, connectives, and reporting verbs. It is meant to be a gentle introduction to text analysis, an aid to student writers. There are also details of quite advanced disciplinary writing books written by me and Claude. As noted in those, many disciplines don’t follow the IMRDC structure, but use alternative labels or thematic headings. I am assuming, in the concordance search described above, the language features found in the Method section will still be present in articles that use an alternative heading, such as Experiment 1. I should perhaps add some explicit statement about the typical macrostructure found in these disciplines. Let me know if you have any questions, find any problems etc.
Michael
