The study focused on the rhetorical variation of abstracts written by experts and Chinese undergraduates by investigating 60 RA abstracts in applied linguistics. Santos' (1996) 5-move model was adopted as the analytical framework. The results showed that abstracts by the two groups of writers shared Move 2, 3 and 4 as conventional. However, the move pattern did vary a lot among them. With regard to verb tense, despite the similar tendency of using present tense in Move 1, 2 and 5, there were great differences in all the five moves in terms of occurrence frequency. The findings have significant pedagogical implications for novice writers' abstracting in applied linguistics. KEYWORD: Abstracting; RA; Rhetorical Structure; Authorial Variation
