本研究以Hyland&Tse的元话语(Metadiscourse)分类为基础,从性别的角度出发,探究男性与女性在英语写作中的元话语的使用上是否存在共性和差异,并浅析该差异背后的原因。研究发现男性和女性的英语写作均会使用大量的逻辑连接语和人称标记,差异性不大,但在增强语元话语的使用上,男性使用频率明显高于女性。 Based on Hyland & Tse’s Metadiscourse classification, this study explores the commonalities and differences between men and women in the use of meta-discourse in English writing from the perspective of gender and analyzes the reasons behind the differences. The study found that both men and women use a large number of logical connections and personal tags in English writing, but the use of meta-discourse is more frequently used than that of women.
