High-frequency N1 nouns include research results and other findings or data (e.g. result(s), finding(s), evidence) and N2 nouns include studies, hypothesis, results or theories of other researchers (e.g. studies, results, findings). The following concordances from BC are sorted at the left position of consistent with N in the case of result, evidence and finding. [Sort at left position] 166
Francis et al. (1998, p. 479) indicate that the LSP consistent with N expresses the idea that things are partly similar. However, my analysis suggests that this is just the surface meaning of this LSP. In academic discourse (esp. the RA genre), it highlights the results of the writers research by comparing them to the results/findings in the others past studies (e.g. results from previous studies, the prior research of Saunders, Wahal (1997), DeAngelo, DeAngelo and Rice (1984), the finding of Elyasiani). This finding is further consolidated by the adjectives prior and previous modifying noun in this LSP. The following concordances of consistent with previous N are extracted from ALC and BC: [Applied Linguistics] [Business Studies] The adjective previous frequently co-occurs with nouns such as findings, studies, researchers, literatures, results irrespective of discipline. This LSP is thus used by writers in both fields to argue for the validity of their own research findings, by indicating that they are in line with those of previous scholars. As well as linking current research to previous research, this group is also used to 167
