Abstract Based on the stance triangle, 270 abstracts from 18 Asian, European and American oncology journals respectively were randomly sampled. Statistically, LIWC2007 and Antconc3.2.4 were used to detect different pragmatic functions of stance adverbs, evaluative adjectives, stance verbs and we-words used in the abstracts. The findings indicate that stance construction via vocabulary resources in abstracts of medical papers published in international prestigious oncology journals varies strikingly. European writers and American writers highlight stance positioning and expression by using a variety of stance words, especially the initial stance adverbs. Additionally, stance words used in abstracts from European and American journals outnumber those from Asian journals. The findings also indicate that there is a positive correlation between the variety and frequency of stance words and thesis quality embodied by impact factor of journals. Additionally, the co-using of stance adverbs, stance verbs and we-words embody such multi-functions of stance words as evaluation, positioning and aligning, ultimately, to highlight the stance expression. This study can provide references and insight into stance words acquisition and develop medical academics'good command of stance vocabulary for academic discourse stance projection and construction.
