Abstract(s)
The paper focuses on analyzing texts of the academic genre Minima Onomastica, published in the Rivista Italiana di Onomastica (RIOn). This new genre, not yet described within Text and Discourse Linguistics, aims primarily to present insights or findings on a precise topic or object of study in Onomastics. By applying CARS model, grounded in the theoretical framework of Swales (1990, 2004) that was adapted by Bunton (2002), the compositional structure of a corpus consisting of eighteen texts was analyzed; of these, sixteen were written in Italian, one in English, and one in Catalan. Among the examined texts, two steps of the CARS model (introducing the subject and presenting results) emerged prominently by occurring in all analyzed texts. Additionally, the contextualization step was identified in most cases. These findings allow for a systematic description of the main rhetorical-structural properties of the Minima Onomastica genre and confirm its effectiveness in disseminating discoveries, thereby promoting the dissemination and enrichment of knowledge within the field of Onomastics.
