Patterning of interactive metadiscourse markers in result and discussion sections of academic research articles across disciplines

A generic analysis of research articles can cover a wide variety of issues; among them are rhetorical features. A crucial part of the rhetorical features of research article is the use of metadiscourse that can help to make the text persuasive and acceptable to a discourse community (Hyland, 2005)....
