Özet
Citation in academic writing is significant but challenging for novice writers. In spite of the increasing studies on the use of citations, limited knowledge is available about the use of citations by EFL Arab postgraduates. Hence, this study aimed at determining the use of citations and exploring the perceptions of EFL Arab postgraduates and PhD supervisors on the use of citations. This qualitative study examined 20 literature reviews from PhD theses in Information Technology and Applied Linguistics produced by EFL Arab postgraduates. The use of citations was analysed using Halliday's Systemic Functional Linguistics. The linguistic features obtained from the lexico-grammatical analysis were employed in the evaluation of the use of citations. Nine EFL Arab postgraduates and five PhD supervisors from Applied Linguistics and Information Technology were interviewed to highlight the challenges encountered in using citations. The findings revealed that full declarative clauses were used in the citations. Material, relational, verbal, mental, existential, and behavioural processes were used to realize the Transitivity System. Clause complexes in citations were joined hypotactically and paratactically to realize Projection, Expansion, and a combination of Projection and Expansion as logicosemantic relations. Textual, Interpersonal, Topical, Predicated, and Marked themes were employed in the clauses of the citations with varied frequencies. The evaluation revealed both appropriate and inappropriate use of clauses in the citations. The interviews with EFL Arab postgraduates revealed the challenges encountered in using citations such as adopting a stance, having insufficient knowledge in using citations, and paraphrasing. The interviews with PhD supervisors also showed that difficulties faced by EFL Arab postgraduates are due to lack of in-depth reading, inability to use citations, poor L2 academic writing skills, and improper positioning of writers' stance. The findings of this study, firstly, extended the existing knowledge of linguistic description on the use of citations and, secondly, explored opportunities to develop EAP/ESP courses.
Özet (Çeviri)
Sitasi dalam penulisan akademik adalah penting tetapi mencabar untuk penulis baru. Meski pun banyak kajian telah diusahakan tentang penggunaan sitasi, namun kurang kajian menyentuh penggunaan sitasi dalam kalangan pelajar pascasiswazah Arab yang mempelajari bahasa Inggeris sebagai bahasa asing (EFL). Oleh hal yang demikian, kajian ini bertujuan mengenal pasti penggunaan sitasi dan meneroka persepsi pelajar pascasiswazah EFL Arab dan penyelia tesis PhD tentang penggunaan sitasi. Kajian kualitatif ini meneliti 20 bab ulasan karya daripada tesis PhD yang dihasilkan oleh pelajar pascasiswazah EFL Arab dalam bidang Teknologi Maklumat dan Linguistik Terapan. Pendekatan tatabahasa sistemik fungsional Halliday telah digunakan untuk menganalisis penggunaan sitasi. Ciri-ciri linguistik yang diperoleh daripada analisis kata dan tatabahasa telah diupayakan dalam penilaian penggunaan sitasi. Sembilan orang pelajar pascasiswazah EFL Arab dan lima orang penyelia PhD dari bidang Linguistik Terapan dan Teknologi Informasi telah ditemu bual untuk mengenengahkan cabaran penggunaan sitasi. Dapatan menunjukkan klausa deklaratif penuh digunakan dalam sitasi. Proses material, relational, verbal, mental, existential, dan behavioural digunakan untuk memperlihatkan Sistem Transitiviti. Klausa yang kompleks dalam sitasi dihubungkaitkan secara hipotaktikal dan parataktikal untuk merealisasikan unjuran, penambahan, dan kombinasi kedua-duanya sebagai satu bentuk hubungan logiksemantik. Tema teks, interpersonal, bertopik, berpredikat dan bertanda diguna pakai dalam klausa sitasi dengan pelbagai kekerapan. Penilaian mendedahkan terdapat dua penggunaan klausa dalam sitasi, iaitu penggunaan yang sesuai dan tidak sesuai. Temu bual dengan pelajar pascasiswazah EFL Arab memaparkan bahawa antara cabaran dalam penggunaan sitasi, termasuklah menentukan pendirian, mempunyai pengetahuan yang terbatas dalam penggunaan sitasi, dan mengolah semula. Temu bual dengan penyelia juga menunjukkan masalah yang dialami oleh pelajar pascasiswazah EFL Arab disebabkan oleh kurang pembacaan mendalam, ketidakupayaan untuk menggunakan sitasi, kurang kemahiran penulisan akademik dalam bahasa kedua, dan ketidaksesuaian penetapan pendirian penulis. Dapatan kajian ini melanjutkan pengetahuan sedia ada tentang pemerihalan linguistik berhubung penggunaan sitasi dan meneroka peluang untuk mengembangkan kursus EAP/ESP.
