Background of the Study
In analyzing a text, the theory commonly used is discourse analysis. According to Nordquist (2017), discourse analysis is a broad term for the study of the ways in which language is used in texts and contexts, or texts' surrounding and defining discourse. This is also called discourse studies. Discourse analysis was developed in the 1970s as a field of study (e.g., Halliday & Hasan, 1976). Theoretical perspectives and approaches used in discourse analysis include the following: applied linguistics, conversation analysis, pragmatics, rhetoric, stylistics, text linguistics, and many others. Therefore, it is important to enhance our knowledge of the use of language in society.
The latest theory of discourse analysis is metadiscourse. Metadiscourse is a new concept in the field of discourse analysis that is related to the writer and reader. Language acts to present information through the organization of the text itself as well as engage the readers to understand it (Fuertes-Olivera et al., 2001). In analyzing a text, researchers may study metadiscourse elements based on their forms, meanings or functions among which functional studies have been more commonly used. (Gholami, Mehrnaz. Tajalli, Ghaffar.,. 2014) According to Vande Kopple (1985) and Crismore (1993), metadiscourse markers are divided into two types: textual metadiscourse and interpersonal metadiscourse. Textual metadiscourse is responsible for creating some sort of integration and cohesion for the text created.
Meanwhile, interpersonal metadiscourse helps writers interact with their readers. According to Hyland (2005; 50-52) metadiscourse has only two types; they are interactive metadiscourse and interactional metadiscourse.
