The prime focus of this research paper is to analyze how reporting verbs (RVs) are used by the non-native PhD scholars. Reporting verbs play an important role in academic discourse. This study also provides an overview of different functions of RVs in terms of their position i.e. weaker, stronger and neutral. In citation, the scholars use RVs to report other authors’ views and ideas and to establish a link between previous claims and their own judgements. The data for this study comprised of twenty five PhD theses of social sciences written by English non-native scholars. The analysis showed that the RVs are used at different positions according to the function they perform in the text and also that non-native scholars use more discourse acts than cognition and research acts.
