| Abstract | ||
| Across local Egyptian and British newspapers, the researcher intends to investigate the function of interpersonal metadiscourse markers in building and achieving persuasion. A corpus of 120 persuasive opinion pieces published in two local Egyptian newspapers and two local British newspapers, from July 2015 to June 2016, are randomly selected and examined using Dafouz-(2008) Milne's taxonomy of interpersonal metadiscourse markers. Overall, the results show that interpersonal metadiscourse is present in both corpora; however, the distribution and frequency of interpersonal indicators differ | ||
