Abstract

This study presents a socio-theoretical proposal for the Conclusion section in original academic articles in the disciplinary culture of area of Nutrition, understanding how this specific area builds the said section of the genre. As theoretical support, we rely on the theoretical-methodological assumptions of Swales (1990) regarding the academic genres and the rhetorical configuration models proposed by Nwogu (1997) and Costa (2015) for articles in the area of Medicine. For the description of the area, we are based on the concept of Hyland (2000) on disciplinary culture. Our research is an exploratory-descriptive study, with a qualitative and quantitative basis, with a corpus of thirty copies of the original academic article in the area of Nutrition, also distributed in six periodicals of relevance to the study area. According to the analysis, the Conclusion section is characterized by highlighting the main results and indicating the practical implications that the research may enable to knowledge in the area.
