摘　　要：Acknowledgement, as a genre, is vital in academic writing for writers to express thanks to whoever have assisted them in their writing and to establish a favorable academic reputation. Based on John Swales' genre analysis and Hyland's study on the generic structure of dissertation acknowledgements, this paper examines the acknowledgements of nine English master theses selected from five universities in Sichuan to reveal the generic structure and distribution of moves and steps and further to find out differences and similarities between the result of the current study and that of Hyland's research.Acknowledgement, as a genre, is vital in academic writing for writers to express thanks to whoever have assisted them in their writing and to establish a favorable academic reputation.
