Speaking of interdisciplinary study, Bhatia (2004) refers to two disciplines of economics and law and tries to compare the way disciplinary knowledge is structured and communicated in instructional contexts. He argues that:
On the face of it, the two disciplines appear to be similar in that both of them tend to reinforce the relationship between theoretical aspects, processes and outcomes. However in a number of other ways, the two disciplines appear to be very different, especially in terms of the rhetorical strategies they employ to construct knowledge. (p. 34)
