| description | Due to its key role in the diffusion of knowledge in the academy, the abstract
has been studied regarding aspects such as its lexical-grammatical performance and
rhetorical organization. However, the ordering of these findings has not been made
from the disciplinary view of biology. The objective of this study is to contribute with
information regarding the writing of the abstract in the discipline of biology; in particular,
regarding the rhetorical organization of the discursive genre, the author’s positioning
and the coherence relations. For this purpose, an articulation of the results of several
empirical studies is presented. As a result of this bibliographic review, a synthesis of the
characteristics of this genre in biology is presented, among which the mandatory moves
of “method” and “product”, its frequent writing in the first-person plural and the use
of subordinated clauses to express author ́s subjective evaluations. It is hoped that this
synthesis will be a didactic contribution to disciplinary literacy |

The objective of this study is to contribute with information regarding the writing of the abstract in the discipline of biology; in particular, regarding the rhetorical organization of the discursive genre, the author’s positioning and the coherence relations. For this purpose, an articulation of the results of several empirical studies is presented.

It is hoped that this synthesis will be a didactic contribution to disciplinary literacy Debido a su rol clave en la diseminación del conocimiento en la academia, el resumen ha sido estudiado respecto a aspectos tales como su realización léxico-gramatical y organización retórica. Sin embargo, el ordenamiento de estos hallazgos no se ha realizado desde la mirada disciplinar de la biología. El presente estudio busca organizar los hallazgos relacionados a la organización retórica, el posicionamiento del autor y las relaciones de coherencia en el resumen de biología considerando su función persuasiva. Como resultado de esta revisión bibliográfica, se presenta una síntesis de las características de este género en biología, la cual se espera sea una contribución didáctica para la alfabetización disciplinar. Dû à son rôle clé dans la diffusion de la connaissance dans l’académie, le résumé a été étudié par rapport aux aspects tels que sa réalisation lexico-grammaticale et son organisation rhétorique. Cependant, l’ordre de ces trouvailles n’a pas été fait dès le regard disciplinaire de la biologie. Cet article a comme objectif le fait de contribuer avec de l’information par rapport à l’écriture du résumé dans le domaine de la biologie, en particulier, en ce qui concerne l’organisation rhétorique du genre discursif, le positionnement de l’auteur et le rapport de cohérence. Avec ce propos, on présente une articulation des résultats de diverses études empiriques. Comme produit de cette révision bibliographique, on expose une synthèse des caractéristiques de ce genre en biologie, dont la plus remarquable est le fait d’avoir, comme des déplacements obligatoires, celle de « méthode » et « produit », son écriture fréquente en première personne du pluriel et l’utilisation de clauses subordonnées pour exprimer des évaluations subjectives de l’auteur. Il faut espérer que cette synthèse soit une contribution didactique pour l’alphabétisation disciplinaire Devido ao seu papel fundamental na disseminação do conhecimento na academia, o resumo tem sido estudado quanto a aspectos como sua realização léxico-gramatical e organização retórica. No entanto, a ordenação desses achados não foi feita a partir da visão disciplinar da biologia. O presente estudo pretende contribuir com informações sobre a redação do resumo na disciplina de biologia. Em particular, em relação à organização retórica do gênero discursivo, o posicionamento do autor e as relações de coerência. Para tanto, apresenta uma articulação dos resultados de vários estudos empíricos. Como resultado desta revisão bibliográfica, é apresentada uma síntese das características desse gênero na biologia, dentre as quais destacam-se os movimentos obrigatórios de “método” e “produto”, sua escrita frequente na primeira pessoa do plural e o uso de cláusulas subordinado para expressar avaliações subjetivas do autor. Espera-se que esta síntese seja uma contribuição didática para a alfabetização disciplinar.
