Résumé

The main objective of this research is to discover which rhetorical functions were used in the Master ́s thesis writing written by eight (8) American and eight (8) Spanish postgraduates in their native language. A computerized textual analysis of the rhetorical function of citation was used to study this phenomenon (Petrić, 2007). The results obtained from the research showed that the different cultural conventions in the thesis writing indicate that when compared with native Spanish writers, the American writers of English use the highest number of citations, and write a relatively longer Introduction and Conclusion parts. On the other hand, the American informants used a more dialogic style in their writings than the Spanish in using citations
