Academic writing is one of the important skills in higher education and as a social phenomenon can be investigated for ideological manipulations. This study tries to unveil the westernized hegemonic discourse such as legitimation patterns in academic discourse of Iranian applied linguists in three major research paradigms. To this end, five-point classification of van Leeuwen’s (2008) authorization’s category was used as our analytic framework. The published articles of Iranian academic-scholarly journals were critically analyzed for the observed frequencies of the mentioned classifications and Chi-square tests were used to statistically investigate the associations between authorization’s patterns and research paradigms. The results revealed statistically significant associations between quantitative and qualitative research methods on one hand and between qualitative and mixed-methods on the other hand. Accordingly, the results of this study may shed some lights on the domination of positivist’s ideology in academic writing of the applied linguists in Iran. In this respect, the policy makers in the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology, along with editorial boards of Iranian journals in the field of applied linguistics, may change the globalized and westernized view of education into more locally oriented approaches. Furthermore, professors and students may adopt more democratic views in their research and reporting studies. | ||

چکیده [English] | ||
نگارش علمی را میتوان بهعنوان یکی از مهارتهای مهم آموزش عالی و یک پدیدۀ اجتماعی ازنظر بهرهبرداریهای ایدولوژیک مورد بررسی قرارداد. هدف از این تحقیق پردهبرداری از گفتمان هژمونیک غربی، مانند الگوهای مشروعیتبخشی در گفتمان دانشگاهی پژوهشگران حوزۀ زبانشناسی کاربردی ایران در سه پارادایم اصلی پژوهش بود. بهاینمنظور، طبقهبندیِ پنجمولفهای مقولۀ اعتباربخشیِ ون لیووَن (2008) بهعنوان چارچوب تحلیلی مورد استفاده قرارگرفت. برای بررسی بسامد مشاهدهشده در طبقهبندیهای مذکور، مقالههای منتشرشده در مجلههای علمیپژوهشی مورد تحلیل انتقادی قرارگرفتند و از آزمون مجذور کای برای پیداکردن رابطۀ معنیدار آماری بین الگوهای مشروعیتبخشی و روشتحقیقها استفادهشد. نتایج نشانداد ازنظر آماری رابطۀ معناداری بین روشتحقیق کمّی و کیفی و همچنین بین روشتحقیق کمّی و ترکیبی وجوددارد. بنابراین، نتایج این تحقیق سلطۀ ایدئولوژیِ اثباتگرایی بر نگارش دانشگاهیان رشتۀ زبانشناسی کاربردی ایران را روشن میسازد. دراینرابطه، سیاستگذاران تحصیلات تکمیلی در وزارت علوم، تحقیقات و فناوری و هیات دبیران مجلههای ایرانی در رشتۀ زبانشناسی کاربردی میتوانند نگرش جهانی و غربی به آموزش را به رویکردهای بومیتر تغییردهند. همچنین، استادان دانشگاه و دانشجویان میتوانند در پژوهشها و گزارش مطالعات علمی خود نگاهی دموکراتیک داشتهباشند. | ||
