Genre analysis is a means of studying spoken and written discourse. Genre is also as a structuring device used for scientific writing such as articles of journal. The aims of the present study are to describe  rhetorical structure and linguistic features of research article abstracts. The rhetorical structure model employed as the framework  for analysis of the data was Hyland’s.  The sources of data are abstracts of Asian EFL journal articles published between 2005-2009. The number of the article  abstracts  chosen as the source of the data was fifty.

The findings indicated that there were four conventional moves in the abstracts, namely Purpose Move ( M2), Method move  (M3), Product move  (M4), and Conclusion move (M5).   It was found that M2, M3, and M4 occured in  all of the 50 abstracts  or 100% while M5 occured in 38 abstracts or 76%. Introduction move (M1) was an optional move since it was only 24 abstracts or 48%.  The most frequent move structure appeared in the abstracts  was M2-M3-M4-M5 whose total was 23 abstracts or 46%. The linguistic features  of the abstracts showed that  present simple and active voice were the most frequently used and the self-reference pronoun was barely used in the abstract. Finally, the implication of the findings is that the result of the research can be as an empirical reference for novice writers in writing abstracts.
