“…We can therefore safely argue that the journals consulted are comparable in caliber and reputation. Regarding our choice of sources, we would finally like to mention that our study is not the first one that compares journals written in national languages with English-language journals (Valero-Garcés 1996;Martin Martin 2003;Mur Dueñas 2007;Hirano 2009;Sheldon 2009; to cite just a few).…”

“…Even though Spanish could be considered an international language, since it is used as an L1 in numerous countries and by many speakers worldwide, national quality systems and policies favouring English-medium impact publications make it more and more pressing for Spanish academics to draft their papers in English and seek international publication in this language. Intercultural research has been carried out on the use of self-mentions as stance markers in RAs in the two L1s and contexts of publication: in English by Anglophones addressing an international readership and in Spanish by Spaniards addressing a more local readership (Mur-Dueñas 2007;Sheldon 2009;Williams 2010). Mur-Dueñas (2007) reported significant differences in the use of first person plural references and self-citations in RAs in the field of Business Management; Anglo-American authors writing in highimpact journals make a more frequent use of these stance markers to establish their authorial persona -especially when describing the procedure followed, stating their hypothesis and indicating their limitations or strengths -than scholars in the same discipline publishing their RAs in Spanish in more local journals.…”

Numerous cross-linguistic and cross-disciplinary studies have looked at the manifestation of author stance in academic texts. One of the most recurrent areas of contrast has been the use of personal pronouns across linguistic and disciplinary cultures. This paper aims at reviewing previous research on self-reference in research articles taking an intercultural perspective. It focuses on 22 studies which report on results regarding this stance feature in 13 lingua-cultural contexts (Bulgarian, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Persian, Russian, Spanish). They have been extracted from relevant publications in the fields of English for Academic Purposes and English for Specific Purposes over the past 25 years (1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012). A close analysis of this research highlights different cultural trends in constructing writer-reader relationships in this academic genre and reveals important methodological issues across different studies. This review article also has implications for English as a lingua franca (cf. Mauranen 2012) as used in international publications.

“…Text-based studies of metadiscourse in business texts have been confined to academic research articles (Cao & Hu, 2014;Dueñas, 2007Dueñas, , 2010Hyland, 2005c;Hyland & Tse, 2005a, 2005bKhedri, Heng, & Ebrahimi, 2013;Murillo, 2012;Pooresfahani, Khajavy, & Vahidnia, 2012;Sultan, 2011), master's theses and dissertations (Hyland, 2004;Samraj, 2008), and workplace contexts (Bargiela-Chiappini, 2009;Camiciottoli, 2010Camiciottoli, , 2011Carrió-Pastor & Calderón, 2015;Hyland, 1998a). Cao and Hu (2014) compared the use of interactive metadiscourse markers in 120 quantitative and qualitative research articles across three social science subfields: applied linguistics, education, and psychology.…”

Metadiscourse analysis reveals the way writers engage with different texts and communicate with each other. Examining these linguistic resources is important because they play a vital role in maximizing the learning experiences of students in the Master's program in Accounting. Yet, there is a lack of research investigating these features in a key topic in the Principles of Finance course: management reports that encompass tables and graphs. This study explores the use of metadiscourse markers in three multimodal management reports written by 10 international Master's of Accounting students. It employs Hyland and Tse's model and Hyland's model for the multimodal analysis of metadiscourse markers in finance texts. The findings show a high frequency of interactive and interactional markers in the orthographic texts compared with a lack of implicit interactive markers and a high frequency of implicit interactional markers in the tables and graphs. Implications for the teaching of English for Business Purposes (EBP) are discussed. Keywords metadiscourse analysis, multimodal business discourse, linguistic analysis, interactive and interactional markers
