Abstract

This study employs a sociolinguistic framework to conduct an in-depth analysis of how reporting verbs are impacted in research articles on electrical engineering. 160 Electrical research papers containing 4,206 tokens were examined using the R software. The past and present tenses of the top three verbs propose, show, and describe were chosen as the binomial values for the dependent variable tenses. The findings indicate that publication periods (external factor) and verb choice, verb types, and verb voices (internal factors) influence the choice of tense. Additionally, the interaction of the correlations between the factors and the dependent variable is taken into account.
