| Abstract: | Although archives are common in technical and professional communication (TPC) research, disciplinary reviews are not typically characterized as archival. By examining a key disciplinary archive, Technical Communication Quarterly, this article argues for an understanding of disciplinary reviews as archival research through a corpus analysis of 633 abstracts published between 1992 and 2023. This study offers a macro view of the choices authors make through an analysis of two key features: self-referential descriptors and verb collocates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
