It addresses a gap regarding utilizing these patterns and their rhetorical function within the knowledge transfer in pedagogy. The study aims to identify recurring phraseological patterns, delineate their functions in expressing rhetorical moves, and demonstrate how they contribute to the overall coherence and effectiveness of the text. The main research question explores how phraseological patterns contribute to the presentation of rhetorical moves and steps in pedagogy research paper introductions. Employing a corpus-based approach, the paper analyzes ten research papers from the Journal of Pedagogical Research published in 2023. The methodology involves identifying phraseological patterns, analyzing their rhetorical functions, examining their discourse functions, and characterizing their structural nature. The present study identifies phraseological patterns as recurring in pedagogy research papers while acknowledging their non-exclusivity to the field. Research findings reveal four key moves: establishing a thematic territory, surveying previous research, creating a research niche, and occupying the research niche. Each move utilizes specific phraseological patterns to achieve distinct rhetorical purposes. The study highlights the distribution of contiguous and non-contiguous patterns and their multifunctional nature in conveying complex research-related ideas and issues. It uncovers how these patterns interact with rhetorical moves to create cohesive and persuasive introductions. This pilot investigation lays the groundwork for future research on phraseological patterns in scholarly papers, offering insights into the intricate relationship between language patterns and rhetorical structure in academic writing.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В данной статье представлено пилотное исследование роли фразеологических паттернов в концептуализации риторических ходов, выполненное на материале текстов введения к научной статье по педагогике. Оно заполняет существующий пробел, связанный с риторической функцией этих паттернов и их использованием в процессе передачи знаний по педагогике. Цель исследования - выявить повторяющиеся фразеологические паттерны, определить их функции в выражении риторических ходов и продемонстрировать, как они способствуют общей связности и эффективности текста. Используя корпусный подход, автор анализирует десять научных статей из журнала «Journal of Pedagogical Research», опубликованных в 2023 г. Методология исследования включает выявление фразеологических паттернов, анализ их риторических и дискурсивных функций и характеристику их структурной природы. В ходе исследования выделены фразеологические паттерны, повторяющиеся в научных работах по педагогике, однако признается возможность их использования и в других областях. Выявлены четыре ключевых хода: установление тематической территории, обзор предыдущих исследований, создание исследовательской ниши и занятие исследовательской ниши. Каждый ход использует особые фразеологические паттерны для достижения определенных риторических целей. Обращается внимание на распределение смежных и несмежных паттернов, подчеркивается их многофункциональная природа в представлении сложных идей и исследовательских вопросов. Показано, как эти паттерны взаимодействуют с риторическими ходами для создания связных и убедительных текстов. Полученные результаты закладывают основу для будущих исследований фразеологических паттернов в научных статьях, демонстрируя сложную взаимосвязь между языковыми паттернами и риторической структурой в академическом письме.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="zh"/><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>academic writing rhetoric</kwd><kwd>phraseological patterns</kwd><kwd>discourse functions</kwd><kwd>research paper introductions</kwd><kwd>pedagogy</kwd><kwd>rhetorical moves and steps</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>риторика академического письма</kwd><kwd>фразеологические паттерны</kwd><kwd>функции дискурса</kwd><kwd>вступление к научной статье</kwd><kwd>педагогика</kwd><kwd>риторические ходы и шаги</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The present research has been conducted within the author’s research activities in the&#13;
