Abstract

Abstract This study investigates the use of interactive metadiscourse markers in first language (L1) and second language (L2) English editorials. It also identifies how L1 and L2 editorials differ in the use of these markers. To this end, the study utilizes Hyland’s (2019) model of interactive metadiscourse to analyse – based on a descriptive approach – 80 editorials collected from two highly reputed newspapers: The Guardian and The Jordan Times, distributed evenly. The data were analysed both quantitatively, using SPSS tests to identify significant differences (if any) between the two sets of editorials, and qualitatively to enrich our understanding of the functions of interactive metadiscourse markers in editorials. The analysis revealed that there is no significant difference in the use of interactive metadiscourse markers between the two corpora. However, there is a slight variation in the use of individual interactive markers such as frame markers and evidentials. The findings are discussed in the light of theories of metadiscourse and previous literature. The study provides implications for L2 learning and teaching in terms of how interaction in written discourse is achieved in the L2.

一、二语英语中的互动元话语——来自社论的证据
摘要本研究调查了互动元话语标记在第一语言(L1)和第二语言(L2)英语社论中的使用。它还确定了L1和L2社论在使用这些标记方面的差异。为此,该研究利用Hyland(2019)的互动元话语模型,基于描述性方法,分析了从两家知名报纸《卫报》和《约旦时报》收集的80篇社论,这些社论分布均匀。使用SPSS测试对数据进行定量分析,以确定两组社论之间的显著差异(如果有的话),并从定性角度丰富我们对社论中交互元话语标记功能的理解。分析表明,两个语料库在元话语标记的使用上没有显著差异。然而,在使用个别互动标记(如框架标记和证据)方面略有差异。这些发现是结合元话语理论和以往文献进行讨论的。本研究就如何在二语中实现书面语篇中的互动提供了对二语学习和教学的启示。
