초록
This study investigated the employment of metadiscourse as appeared in L1 and L2 writing of an English magazine that publishes contributions of multilingual members of the international community. With a postulation that the magazine constitutes a discourse community, this study attempted to identify differences and/or similarities in their use of the metadiscourse markers, and metadiscoursal practices distinctive of the community. While L2 writers’ inclination toward “explicitness” was found in both textual and interpersonal metadiscourse, more similarities were observed than differences between the two groups. A possible interpretation is that in the tight discourse community, the outcome of cooperation and interaction in writing may outweigh the cultural-rhetoric and/or interlanguage factors, resulting in assimilation of L1 uses by L2 users. L2 members’ usage of we in various levels signals a presence of the discourse norm internalized by them.
Abstract
This study investigated the employment of metadiscourse as appeared in L1 and L2 writing of an English magazine that publishes contributions of multilingual members of the international community. With a postulation that the magazine constitutes a discourse community, this study attempted to identify differences and/or similarities in their use of the metadiscourse markers, and metadiscoursal practices distinctive of the community. While L2 writers’ inclination toward “explicitness” was found in both textual and interpersonal metadiscourse, more similarities were observed than differences between the two groups. A possible interpretation is that in the tight discourse community, the outcome of cooperation and interaction in writing may outweigh the cultural-rhetoric and/or interlanguage factors, resulting in assimilation of L1 uses by L2 users. L2 members’ usage of we in various levels signals a presence of the discourse norm internalized by them.
