Abstract:
Figure legends, a descriptive statement accompanying a graph, is an essential component of science writing, and novice writers often find it difficult to write an adequate and plausible one. Results show that in figure legends writers are most concerned with the textual descriptions of blue and red as markers of contrasting scientific items and bars and images as representative of graphic shapes. Writers also frequently use shown and indicated to introduce the demonstrative relationship between graphic elements and scientific information. Further, noun and prepositional bundles account for the overwhelming proportion, followed by verb-related and then clause-related forms.
