Abstract The present article reports a comparative study of interactional metadiscourse markers in English and Persian research articles. Drawing on Hyland’s (2005) interpersonal model of metadiscourse, this study investigates the employment of “hedges”, “boosters”, and “attitude markers” in a corpus composed of the post-method sections of 100 research articles (50 English and 50 Persian) in the field of architecture. Overall, it was found that there are statistically significant differences between the frequencies of hedges, boosters, and attitude markers used in English and Persian sub-corpora. Yet, the linguistic and functional analyses unveiled some basic similarities between the two languages in their epistemic metadiscourse strategies. The findings provide deep insights into the rhetorical conventions and norms in architectural articles and offer a broader perspective towards discoursing patterns and persuasion strategies of English and Iranian academic writers in this field.

英，波斯建筑研究文章中元语篇的比较研究

摘要本文报道了英语和波斯语研究文章中的交互元话语标记的比较研究。基于海兰德（Hyland，2005）的人际交往模型，本研究调查了在100篇研究文章的后方法部分（50篇英语和50篇波斯语）组成的语料库中使用“树篱”，“助推器”和“态度标记”的情况。 ）。总体而言，发现英语和波斯语子集中使用的树篱，助推器和态度标记的频率在统计上存在显着差异。然而，语言和功能分析揭示了两种语言在认知元话语策略中的一些基本相似之处。
