This study addresses the issue of academic writing in English by comparing pragmatic argumentation in the writing of 40 graduate students studying at Iraqi universities (SSIU) with the writing of 40 graduate students studying at American universities (SSAU). In these 80 theses, six selected aspects of academic writing were analyzed: (a) paragraph structure, (b) length and construction of sentences, (c) organization of information in sentences, (d) vocabulary, (e) topic sentences, and (f) discourse markers. This study seeks to go beyond the traditional and often onedimensional analysis of pragmatics of argumentation in English academic writing to distinguish and describe different aspects of academic writing and their results when used by EFL graduate students and graduate students coming from English-speaking countries. The quantitative analysis of the six selected aspects of academic mentioned above begins with a brief definition and is followed by frequency information from corpus analysis in the corpora. I analyze the selected data with a corpus-based approach and pragmatic theories that are proposed in Chapter Two to see if the results answer the research questions that are proposed in Chapter One. Learners of English who reached the postgraduate level of study should have awareness of the pragmatic aspects involved in writing and reporting academic research. These aspects are, according to their importance, topicality, organization of information, and paragraph structure. Other aspects can serve as an auxiliary function that can help presenting the major aspects above in better manner. These aspects are: length and construction, organization of information, and vocabulary. This study has reached a point at which a conclusion can be hypothesized and conducted. The full observation of these conclusions made the researcher able to suggest recommendations for further such studies.
