The Life of a Scientific Fact: Metadiscourse in Undergraduate Textbooks and Research Articles
Original language description
The chapter examines the writer-reader interactions in academic writing as manifested in metadiscourse. It aims to describe and compare several metadiscursive features used in two different genres, undergraduate textbook and research article, within onediscipline - linguistics. Several approaches to metadiscourse are presented and compared (especially the so-called ?narrow? and ?broad? approach as identified by A. Mauranen). The analysis draws on the classification of statement types presented by Latour and Woolgar (1986) and tries to find support for their arguments in the theory of metadiscourse, as formulated especially by Ken Hyland (2005). The analysis should help understand the ways statements change when they are presented to different audiences. The results reflect the differences between the two genres and should reveal some genre-specific features of the undergraduate textbook which tends to have a peripheral status among academic genres.
