description |
This paper seeks to explore the use of metadiscourse markers in COVID-19 vaccine
opinion articles in American and Malaysian online newspapers. The objectives in this study
include (1) to identify the metadiscourse categories and sub-categories used in Malaysian and
American online newspapers in COVID-19 vaccine opinion articles, (2) to investigate the
frequency of interactive and interactional metadiscourse markers in these two texts, (3) to
analyse how interactive and interactional metadiscourse markers are used to achieve
persuasion in the two texts, and (4) to investigate if there is any significant relationship
between the distribution and use of interactive and interactional metadiscourse in these texts.
In this study, descriptive research design with both qualitative and quantitative approach is
used. The research framework used in this study is Hyland’s (2005) taxonomy of
metadiscourse. The findings of this study reveal that both interactive and interactional
metadiscourse are present in American and Malaysian COVID-19 vaccine opinion articles.
However, there are similarities and differences in the way American and Malaysian writers
employ these markers in the writing of COVID-19 vaccine opinion articles. |
