- Abstract
The current pandemic study has not been much discussed, especially one focusing on interpersonal metadiscourse markers and appraisal use. Consequently, this study is significant in reporting the descriptive analysis of the features of interpersonal metadiscourse markers and appraisal appearing in the BBC News reports that discussed Corona Virus. A discourse analysis approach is used to examine the interlocutors’ phenomena of metadiscourse within the discourse. The study results revealed that the way the speaker delivered the argument was denoted by the presence of interpersonal metadiscourse markers to convey a message. Thus, it demonstrated the way the speakers attempted to engage the listeners in the discourse. Moreover, the findings also revealed that the appraisal framework’s application contributed to the markers formerly being analyzed. Consequently, it elucidated how the speaker delivered their arguments by applying evidential, hedges, boosters, attitude markers, and self-mention.
