摘要

将元话语细分为两个维度:交互维度和交互维度。互动元素是文本的特征,它索引了作者对读者的假设,而互动元素是指作者的立场和立场的表达,因此是“作者的声音或基于社区的个性”的表达(Hyland,摘要:本研究试图调查一些赞比亚女性和男性在《邮报》上发表的报纸观点文章形式的书面话语政治问题中的元话语(MD)变化。它比较了互动性MD标记的频率,以及女性和男性在观点文章中使用的互动性MD标记。此外,本文还描述了文章中女性和男性特有的交互式MD标记和交互式元话语标记。采用最大变异法对2011 - 2015年《邮报》发表的150篇文章(女性75篇,男性75篇)进行抽样。用手机相机捕捉这些文章,这些文章后来被打印出来,构成了一个12万字的语料库。数据的收集和分析采用了混合方法。结果显示,女性和男性在话语上表现出mdg差异,其中一些差异具有统计学意义。然而,在MD标记物的使用上发现了更多的相似性而不是差异性。本研究得出结论:性别是影响MD标志物使用的重要变量;然而,这并不是影响MD变化的唯一因素,作家的体裁、文化和写作风格也在MD标记的选择中起着重要作用。因此,在教学法方面,建议采用特定体裁的方法。

Is Gender a Factor in Variations in Meta Discourse on Political Matters in Zambia? An Investigation Based on Some Zambian Female and Male Written Discourses in Post Newspaper Opinion Articles
sub-divided metadiscourse into two dimensions: interactiveandinteractional dimensions. Interactive elements are features of a text that index the assumptions a writer makes about his/her reader while the interactional refers to expressions of the writer’s position and stance, and therefore, is an expression of ‘the writer’s voice or community based personality’(Hyland, Abstract: This study sought to investigate metadiscourse(MD) variations in written discourseson political matters in form of newspaper opinion articlesproduced by some Zambian females and malesin Post newspaper. It compared the frequencies of interactive MD markers as well as interactional MD markers used by females and males in opinion articles. Additionally, it described the interactive MD markers and interactional metadiscourse markers that were unique to females and males in the articles. Maximum variation technique was used to sample a total of 150 articles (75 written by females and 75 written by males) published in Post newspaper during the period 2011 to 2015.A phone camera was used to capture the articles which were later printed out to constitute a corpus of 120 000 words.A mixed methods approach was employed in the collection and analysis of data. The results revealed thatfemales and males exhibited MDvariations in their discourses some of which were statistically significant. However, more similarities than differences in the use of MD markers were found. The study concludes that gender is an important variable in the use of MD markers; nonetheless, it is not the only factor that influences MDvariations but the genre, the culture of the writers and their writing styles too, play a major role in the choice of MD markers. Therefore, for pedagogy, a genre-specific approach is recommended.
