چکیده مقاله

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.
