Частотность использования прилагательных продвижения при написании заявок на гранты может отличаться в разных областях исследований. В данной статье рассматривается употребление прилагательных продвижения в аннотациях заявок на гранты в шести научных сферах. Основная гипотеза состоит в том, что частотности прилагательных продвижения в разных дисциплинах существенно отличаются и что пропорциональное соотношение дисциплинарно-специфичных и общих прилагательных продвижения также различается. Проанализированы 148 прилагательных продвижения в шести дисциплинарных корпусах аннотаций заявок на гранты, финансируемых Британским фондом исследований и инноваций в 2012–2023 гг. (более 13 млн слов, 28 551 текстов). Хотя прилагательные продвижения высокочастотны в аннотациях во всех дисциплинах, дисциплинарно-специфичные прилагательные отмечены в пропорционально большем объеме в искусстве и гуманитарных науках, инженерии и физике, экономике и социальных науках, чем в естественных науках. Использование прилагательных продвижения является стабильно высоким и последовательным, но в то же время различающимся во всех дисциплинах. Практическая значимость работы выражается в применении результатов для написания грантов исследователями в рамках разных научных дисциплин и разработки учебных пособий по иностранному языку для специальных целей. Вклад авторов. Теоретический обзор исследования выполнен Т.М. Пермяковой, корпус аннотаций собран и обработан Д.С. Туляковым, статистический анализ проведен Е.А. Балезиной.</p></abstract><abstract xml:lang="en" abstract-type="summary"><p>By effectively integrating promotional discourse into grant proposal abstracts, researchers can more compellingly present their ideas and increase their chances of securing funding. Implications of promotional adjectives in grant writing might differ across various research fields. This study aims to explore the use of promotional adjectives in abstracts of research grant proposals in six research fields, ranging from arts and humanities to natural sciences, to confirm the hypothesis that the frequencies of promotional adjectives in abstracts across disciplines and the proportion of discipline-specific and general promotional adjectives within disciplines vary considerably. 148 promotional adjectives in six disciplinary corpora of abstracts of research grant proposals funded by UK Research and Innovation in 2012–2023 (over 13 million words, 28,551 texts) were examined. The results show that general promotional adjectives in grant proposal abstracts demonstrate high frequency regardless of the genre and the discipline; discipline-specific adjectives are more likely to be presented in Arts and Humanities, Engineering and Physics, and Economics and Social Sciences than in Natural Sciences. The use of promotional adjectives is consistent, yet distinct, in all disciplines. The results of the study may have implications for disciplinary researchers' grant writing practices and in teaching English for Academic Purposes.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>заявки на получение грантов</kwd><kwd>лингвистический корпус</kwd><kwd>корпусная лингвистика</kwd><kwd>прилагательные продвижения</kwd><kwd>социальные науки</kwd><kwd>естественные науки</kwd><kwd>гуманитарные науки</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>grant proposal abstracts</kwd><kwd>linguistic corpus</kwd><kwd>corpus linguistics</kwd><kwd>promotional adjectives</kwd><kwd>Social Sciences</kwd><kwd>Natural Sciences</kwd><kwd>Humanities</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The paper was prepared within the framework of the Academic Fund Program at HSE University (grant № 25-00-020 “Self-Promotion and Criticality in Academic Communication”)</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><ref id="ref1"><mixed-citation publication-type="other" xml:lang="en">Bhatia V.K., 2005.
