Metadiscourse in Academic writing: Does it really help ESP students to write effective Research Articles

Parisa Ahmadi¹

Abstract :
English is the leading medium of communication in academia and publication in international journals presents a goal for some researchers. Metadiscourse is an interesting field of inquiry which is believed to play a vital role in organizing and producing persuasive writing, based on the norms and expectations of people involved. It is based on a view of writing as a social engagement. Recent trends in the study of written texts reflect a growing interest in interaction between readers and writers. Several studies have studied metadiscourse from the descriptive and contrastive perspectives; there is a lack of experimental work on this topic. This study reports a comparative study of interactive metadiscourse markers in quantitative and qualitative research articles to shed some light on the ways academic writers deploy these resources in a high stakes research genre to persuade readers in their own discourse community. Drawing on Hyland s metadiscourse framework, the study examined the use of five types of interactive metadiscourse, together with their subtypes, in a corpus of 330 research articles represented six academic disciplines (55 from each discipline). Chemistry, Physics and Medicine were selected from hard sciences Psychology, Sociology and Education from soft sciences. The analysis suggested how academic writers use language to offer a credible representation of their work in different fields, and thus how metadiscourse can be seen as a means of uncovering something of the rhetorical and social distinctiveness of disciplinary communities. Frame markers strategy was the mostly occurred strategy in Applied Linguistics. The findings are attributable to the knowledge-knower structures characteristic of the disciplines and the epistemologies underlying the research paradigms. This study could help develop a more plausible academic writing syllabus, which brings less visible rhetorical features of research articles under the spotlight to help avoid possible overgeneralizations from native culture.
