Description
- A new concept "metadiscursive nouns" is proposed and elaborated as a good extension of metadiscourse
- Rhetorical roles of metadiscursive nouns in discourse is neatly mapped on to the interactive and interactional function of metadiscourse.
- A robust and viable categorisation of metadiscursive nouns warrants future empirical analysis on other genres.
- Pedagogical implications are adequately discussed so that the linguistic and rhetorical knowledge about metadiscursive nouns can serve well in language and literacy education.
