paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines156 - : This article reports on the results of the analysis of a sample of fifteen articles extracted from the journal Revista de Pedagogía in order to determine how education researchers interact with their peers and communicate their integrity and their compromise with the discipline. The analysis focused on the interpersonal metadiscourse category and its dimensions as proposed by Hyland (1999a, 2000): hedges, boosters, attitude markers, relational markers and person markers . The results reveal that the variability in the use of interpersonal markers could be linked to the type of research. Hedging constituted the most frequent trait followed by relation and attitude markers. I conclude that education researchers have a tendency not to impose their point of views. They are concerned with personal stance and with assuring that their arguments are accepted by their readers.

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines218 - : Metadiscourse and perspective: Metadiscoursive functions of modality modifers introduced by ‘como’ in scientific discourse

3
paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines596 - : “Metadiscourse functions on a referential, informational plane when it serves to direct readers on how to understand the author's purposes and goals, and the primary message by referring to its content and structure. The referring can be on a global or local level. Metadiscourse functions on an expressive or attitudinal plane when it serves to direct readers how to 'take' the author, that is, how to understand the author's perspective or stance toward the content or the structure of the primary discourse” (^[55]Crismore, 1984: 282 ).

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines596 - : ^[56]Mauranen (1993) identifies two main trends in metadiscourse studies: integrative and non-integrative (see also ^[57]Ädel & Mauranen 2010 ). The integrative approach takes the textual interaction between writer and reader as a defining characteristic. In contrast, the non-inclusive approach considers metadiscourse as a more restricted concept that only looks at reflexivity, i.e. the ability of language to comment on one's own language (^[58]Ädel, 2010). Non-inclusive approaches tend to define metadiscourse as:

5
paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines596 - : ^[60]Hyland (2005) adopts an integrative approach to metadiscourse. He acknowledges that there is no unique definition of the term and that the notion: “has always been something of a fuzzy term, often characterised as simply 'discourse about discourse' or 'talk about talk'” (^[61]Hyland, 2005: 16), However, he sees great consensus on metadiscourse as “material which goes beyond the subject matter to signal the presence of the author” (Hyland, 2005: 35) and adopts a comprehensive definition of the term:

6
paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines596 - : The integrative approach to metadiscourse proposed by ^[63]Hyland (2005) includes two dimensions: the interactive and the interactional . The former includes code glosses, endophoric markers, evidentials, frame markers and transition markers. The latter involves attitude markers, boosters, engagement markers, hedges and self-mention. Readers are an integral part of specialised discourse, and authors seek to promote and guide effective interaction with their readers. The use of metadiscourse devices is, therefore, essential in this regard. In addition, these mechanisms enable to highlight the authors’ epistemological positioning and preferences while they also organise and develop information in a logical way. ^[64]Mur-Dueñas (2011) explains the relation between the interactive and the interactional dimensions of metadiscourse in the following terms:

7
paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines596 - : “Thus, both interactive metadiscourse features (intended to organise and shape the material in the light of the readers' likely needs and expectations) and interactional metadiscourse features (aimed at portraying the scholars as authors and at binding writer and reader together) are a response to the interpersonal component of writing” (^[65]Mur-Dueñas, 2011: 3069 ).

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines599 - : Metadiscourse has been one standpoint used by numerous researchers to identify language interactions in academic English (^[27]Hyland, 1997, ^[28]1998a, ^[29]1998b, ^[30]2005; ^[31]Hyland & Tse, 2004; ^[32]Ädel, 2006; ^[33]Gillaerts & Van de Velde, 2010; ^[34]Carrió-Pastor, 2016, ^[35]2019b; ^[36]Hyland & Jiang, 2018), but also in other genres and languages (^[37]Hu & Cao, 2011; ^[38]Mur-Dueñas, 2011; ^[39]Moya & Carrió-Pastor, 2018a, ^[40]2018b, ^[41]2018c; ^[42]Carrió-Pastor, 2019a; ^[43]Qin & Uccelli, 2019). Quite recently, one of these researchers, who has dedicated most of his academic life to the analysis of metadiscourse, described it in the following terms:

paper corpusSignosTxtLongLines599 - : He explores the strengths and shortcomings of metadiscourse, offering a general overview of the concept and pointing out that it is a powerful analytical tool; specifically, he states that “[…] metadiscourse has inspired a considerable amount of scholarship and continues to contribute enormously” (^[45]Hyland, 2017: 27 ). Metadiscourse is generally divided into two categories, i.e. textual (the devices that provide cohesion and coherence to a text and guide readers and listeners along the discourse) and interactional (the devices used to interact with listeners and readers, engaging them and showing readers the importance of the message). In this paper, we focus on one sub-category of the interactional metadiscourse devices, i.e. boosters, with the aim of studying the variation that can be caused by the nature of the specific field of knowledge. Our analysis is based on a quantitative analysis of academic corpora from three specific fields of knowledge, i.e. Engineering, Medicine and
