摘要：Meta-discourse is one of the important concepts in fields of discourse analysis. It deals with therelationship between authors and their texts together with the relationship between writers andtheir readers (Hyland, 2005). Following the meta-discourse markers model of Hyland and Tse(2004), this study attempts to explore types and frequencies of meta –discourse markers used inDiscussion and Conclusion sections of medical and TESOL research articles written in English,and investigate whether there is any significant difference between TESOL and medical RAs inthe use of meta-discourse markers. For this purpose,30 medical research articles and 30 TESOLresearch articles written in English and published between 2008 and 2015 were selectedrandomly and used in this study. The results of this study showed that there is a significantdifference between TESOL and Medical RAs in the use of evidentials, in the use of code glosses,in the use of attitude markers, and in the use of self-mentions. Moreover, the results of this studyindicated that, in both TESOL and medical research articles, hedges and transitions were themost frequently used meta-discourse markers .
