Abstract
This study provides a comparative corpus-basedanalysis of interactional metadiscourse between Chinesescholars and English native speakers’ conclusion section ofaerospace research articles. For this purpose, based onHyland’s (2005) interactional metadiscourse taxonomy, 52aerospace conclusions writing pieces from two high-profilejournals were selected for analysis. Results indicate that thediscrepancy in total number and frequency lies in the use ofhedges, boosters, and attitude markers. Linguistic features,sociocultural factors, and rhetoric functions are responsible forthese discrepancies. This work may shed lights on academicwriting and pedagogy.
