135organization, to each section, and to extra-text material. Sentences in Move 2 follow ahighly stable sequence in the sense that they usually discuss chapters/parts/sections inthe same sequence in which they appear in the book.This is the second most frequent move (after Move 1), appearing in 59 of the 60texts (98.33%). The exception to the 60 texts is one BR in economics ([E#13]) whichcould not be classified as having Move 2 because the parts integrating the book are notfully described. Indeed, the whole text organization in [E#13] differs from what can becalled an academic BR in the terms defined here. The text can be said to be evaluationfronted,i.e., the opening statements are clearly evaluative and make clear the reviewer’sdiscordance with the material he has in hand. This is indicated by emotionally loadedexpressions that somehow seem to be outside the realm of economic debate such as‘fanfare’, the allusion to the dismay caused by the ‘no-show’ of the ‘Haley comet in1986’:[E#13] The fanfare that surrounds the European Community's program forcompleting the internal market by 1992 rivals that which preceded the return ofHaley's comet in 1986. One wonders whether the event can live up to the hype inthis instance any more than it did in the other.The reviewer goes on maintaining this ironic tone, portraying the authors aslacking authority and academic responsibility:The Economics of 1992 represents a part of the E.C. Commission's effort toconvince the world (and themselves) that it might.
