The results of the quantitative and qualitative analyses show that the writers generally manage to construct a coherent authorial voice. The author argues that novice writers? choices cannot be explained only by a lack of expertise and a reluctance to commit themselves explicitly to their claims; they are also affected by the constraints imposed by the Master?s thesis as a genre, interference from the L1 academic-writing standard and instructions received in writing c
