226(underlined in bold) or the second highest (marked with the star). Also, the columnsmarked for Sub-functions 7 and 10 have 100% of frequency in linguistics (whileeconomics reaches 100% only in relation to Sub-function 9). Therefore, according to theresults in Table 6-3, BRs in linguistics seem to correspond most consistently to themodel, followed by those in economics.Consistency with the model in economics is suggested by the fact that the secondhighest percentages are attained in five sub-functions (1,4,5,7,10), and the highestpercentages are reached in two sub-functions (3 and 9), with 100% frequency in one ofthem (Sub-function 9). In chemistry, this consistency is much more restricted.Although the highest scores are attained in three sub-functions (5, 6, 8), chemistry BRsnever attain 100% frequency in relation to any sub-function and maintain a weak secondplace in only two sub-functions (2 and 10).The fact that linguistics BRs adhere more closely to the model is not totallyunexpected considering that the pilot study for the elaboration of the model examinedBRs exclusively in linguistics (Motta-Roth, 1993). As a result, since the beginning, themodel tended to consider information content and form of texts in linguistics.As the analysis in Chapter 5 demonstrated, while the model holds for the threedisciplines, each one of them tends to choose among the ten sub-functions, the mostrepresentative ones for each specific area of knowledge, as will be seen next.6.2.3.1 Chemistry: field, overall organization, and extra-text material• Sub-function 5: Inserting the book in the field
