The Expression of the Writer's Attitude in Undergraduate Textbooks and Research Articles
Original language description
This paper aims to compare the expression of the writer?s attitude in two academic genres, undergraduate textbooks and research articles, within one discipline - applied linguistics. The paper sets out to investigate different functions of the attitude markers in the two genres, e.g. ?creating a research space? in research articles and text-organizing functions in textbooks. This reflects the different purposes and audiences of the two genres - the instructional goal of the textbook on one hand, and themore persuasive goal of the research article on the other. The results suggest that metadiscourse is not only used to organize discourse and negotiate interpersonal meanings, but it may also function as a persuasive tool - even in academic writing, which is traditionally regarded as field-dominated.
