“The aim of this paper is…”: Frame markers in English as a lingua franca academic writing

Original language description

This study explores variation in metadiscourse patterns in English as a lingua franca academic writing. The paper aims to investigate discourse reflexivity in English-medium research articles written by non-native speakers from ten different L1 backgrounds included in the SciELF corpus. Specifically, the paper focuses on one reflexive category, frame markers, which signal text boundaries, announce discourse goals, and label text stages (Hyland 2005), thus making the discourse organisation more explicit. The corpus comprises 72 articles from the field of social sciences and humanities, totalling over 432,000 words. The findings are compared with a specialized corpus of 72 published research articles written by Anglophone authors (approximately 621,000 words), which has been designed as a corpus comparable to the SciELF. The results indicate differences in the forms and functions of certain frame markers in the two corpora, suggesting that this type of discourse reflexivity shows language and culture-specific diversity.
