dc.description.abstractThe focus of the current study is on reporting verbs, which are seen to be the most important and challenging aspect of academic writing. In order to report on other people's claims and to give their own evaluations of those claims, authors carefully choose these lexical elements. This study is thus necessary in an effort to understand how these verb types are employed in MA postgraduate and PhD students' literature evaluations. The corpus is made up of ten randomly chosen MA theses and PhD dissertations from both levels. Software called AntConc was used to count RVs. They were then put into Hyland's (2002) classification of RVs.The findings showed that the quantity and kind of RVs utilized by one level differed from those of the other level. What was seen is that MA students employ these lexical units in an unplanned and disorganized manner, in contrast to PhD students who have exploited theme in a very ordered manner. As a result, RVs should be incorporated into instructors' lesson plans and future curricula to ensure that MA postgraduates are aware of how to properly employ these lexical elements.
