Metadiscourse
Metadiscourse is defined as discourse about the ongoing discourse. Metadiscourse is widely seen as the linguistic manifestations of writers and speakers taking the audience and their perceived needs into consideration when creating discourse and designing messages. Since applied linguistics research into metadiscourse took off in the 1980s, at least two different strands have developed: the interactive approach and the reflexive approach. The key…
Positive and negative risk in adventure tourism discourse
‘Risk’ is typically thought of as something negative, and as something that should be avoided at all cost: risk characteristically has to do with the probability of an unwanted event occurring. However, risk may also be seen as something positive, even energizing, as in the context of financial markets or gambling. Voluntary risk taking has typically been approached through the concepts ‘action’ and ‘edgework’. In this study, both negative and po…

Risk Discourse and Responsibility
The widespread view that risk is highly relevant in late modern societies has also meant that the very study of risk has become central in many areas of social studies. The key aim of this book is to establish Risk Discourse as a field of research of its own in language studies. Risk Discourse is introduced as a field that not only targets elements of risk, safety and security, but crucially requires aspects of responsibility for in-depth analysi…
Adopting a ‘move’ rather than a ‘marker’ approach to metadiscourse
In metadiscourse work, what may be called a ‘marker’ approach vastly outnumbers a ‘move’ approach. This has led to a research focus on small units of analysis, typically word-based, classifying for example the pronoun I as Self-mention. This paper argues that we also need to develop a ‘move’ approach in metadiscourse studies, involving a more contextualised analysis of the discourse functions that speakers/writers use metadiscourse to perform. To…

Towards a unified affordance approach
This case study on COVID-19 warning designs in a Swedish context illustrates how a unified affordance approach may contribute to an understanding of the meaning-making in reminders, instructions, cues and prompts that communicate the message “keep your distance.” The analysis combines semiotic and ecological affordance categories, taking both Gibson’s original theorizing on affordances and more recent affordance-informed research efforts into con…
Metonymy in the semantic field of verbal communication
Metadiscourse
Language enables people to refer to themselves and to their interlocutors explicitly, not only as experiencers in the world (as in examples 1–2 below), but also as communicators (examples 3–4). In addition, they may use language to comment not only on the topic under discussion (examples 5–6), but also on the very situation of communicating (examples 7–8).
Recurrent word combinations in academic writing by native and non-native speakers of English
Research on advanced student writing across disciplines and levels
This paper introduces the Michigan Corpus of Upper-level Student Papers (MICUSP) as a new resource that will enable researchers and teachers of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) to investigate the written discourse of highly advanced student writers whose written assignments have been awarded the grade ‘A’. The usefulness of two aspects of the design of the corpus — variation across discipline and across student level — is illustrated by two ca…

Metadiscourse in L1 and L2 English
The pervasive phenomenon of metadiscourse – commentary on the ongoing discourse – is beginning to take its rightful place among the major topics of discourse studies. This book makes simultaneous contributions to the theory of metadiscourse, corpus-based methods of studying such phenomena, and our knowledge of metadiscourse use in written English. After comprehensively reviewing previous research, it introduces a more rigorous and empirical appro…
