That is why, the aim of the present study is to propose a model describing the rhetorical structure and linguistic elements used in the Abstract section of Cardiology research articles in English. To accomplish this purpose, a special corpus of ninety research article abstracts from three specialized Cardiology journals was compiled and processed by AntMover 1.10 (2016) and AntConc 3.5.8 Window (2019), two corpus analysis softwares. As a result, it was designed a rhetorical model consisting in five moves in the Abstract section. The designed model will contribute to improve the academic writing of research articles abstracts in English by Cuban cardiologists. It will also help them to meet the international scientific community demands of their publications. Furthermore, the findings will make an important contribution to the field of ESP pedagogy as they offer authentic material, which could be used for the teaching and learning of English writing.en-USGenre analysisResearch article abstractCorpus linguisticsRethorical structureMoves analysisMonographEste documento es Propiedad Patrimonial de la Universidad Central “Marta Abreu” de Las Villas.
