Exploring Interactional Metadiscourse in Content Farms and Formal News Agencies
Research on the content of articles from content farms and formal news reports remains limited. This study examines differences between the two types of news agencies regarding interactional metadiscourse, aiming to explore the rhetorical devices employed by writers to interact with readers. We retrieved 86 Chinese health-related news articles from both content farms and formal news agencies to compile two corpora for quantitative and qualitative analysis. In general, content farm articles employ fewer boosters but more self-mentions than formal news reports. Furthermore, distinct writing styles between the two types of agencies are observed. For instance, content farm articles tend to adopt a more colloquial style, emphasise balanced writer–reader interaction, and highlight the importance of the argument. In contrast, formal news articles prefer a more formal tone, encourage readers to take action, and emphasise the severity of circumstances.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Applied Linguistics (InJAL) publishes articles that explore the relationship between expertise in linguistics, broadly defined, and the everyday experience of language. Its scope is international in that it welcomes articles which show explicitly how local issues of language use or learning exemplify more global concerns.
