Abstract Published academic writing often seems to be an unchanging form of discourse with its frozen informality remaining stable over time. Recent work has shown, however, that these texts are highly interactive and dialogic as writers anticipate and take into account readers’ likely objections, background knowledge, rhetorical expectations and processing needs. In this paper, we explore one aspect of these interactions and how it has changed over the past fifty years. Focusing on what has been called interactive metadiscourse (Hyland 2005; Hyland and Tse 2004), or the ways authors organise their material for particular readers, we analyze a corpus of 2.2 million words compiled from articles in the top journals in four disciplines to discover whether, and to what extent, interactive metadiscourse has changed in different disciplines since 1965. The results show a considerable increase in an orientation to the reader over this period, reflecting changes in both research and publication practices.

文本组织元话语

摘要 已发表的学术著作似乎是一种不变的话语形式,其冻结的非正式性随着时间的推移保持稳定。然而,最近的工作表明,这些文本具有高度的互动性和对话性,因为作者预期并考虑了读者可能的反对意见、背景知识、修辞期望和处理需求。在本文中,我们探讨了这些相互作用的一个方面以及它在过去五十年中是如何变化的。专注于所谓的交互式元话语(Hyland 2005;Hyland 和 Tse 2004),或者作者为特定读者组织材料的方式,我们分析了从四个学科的顶级期刊上的文章汇编而成的 220 万字的语料库,以发现是否,以及自 1965 年以来,交互元话语在不同学科中发生了多大程度的变化。
