277Another variation in the ordering of sub-functions occurs in Move 2. On one hand,chemistry tends to have simpler and more linear developments, with a predictable orderof Sub-function 6 in initial position followed by either Sub-functions 7 or 8, or both. Onthe other hand, economics and linguistics BR development patterns contain reference toparts/lines of argumentation in the book alternated with their respective evaluation inrecurring cycles.With regard to item 3 above, the analysis shows that each discipline tends tochoose among the ten sub-functions those that are the most representative ones for eachspecific area of knowledge. In chemistry, reference to field, overall organization, andextra-text material, seem more relevant and not only introductions but the whole text canbe said to be ‘field-oriented’, i.e., the field is specially significant for chemists. This maypoint to chemists’ perception that their field is a well-established culture with apublishing tradition that must be acknowledged when a new publication is evaluated.Also, due to idiosyncrasies of the discipline such as frequent use of graphs, formulas,and tables of chemical elements, extra-text material is a central concern in the disciplineand citing it becomes obligatory in the genre. In economics BRs, evaluation is thecentral concern, with a greater amount of negative recommendations, where the authoror her methodological, theoretical, or ideological orientation is a central value to beconsidered in recommending the book.In linguistics, the greater tendency in producing knowledge in book-form wouldcreate greater competition for readers and therefore would offer reviewers a criterion bywhich to evaluate books: if the author has defined and attended to the needs of her
