摘　　要：Under the theoretical framework of Hyland＇s interpersonal model of metadiscourse, an in-depth analysis of the distribution and characteristics of metadiscourse in English job applications is carried out. The findings show that metadiscourse is frequently used in English job applications and these resources have different occurrence frequencies. The writers use more interactional metadiscourse than interactive metadiscourse. Among all the metadiscourse subcategories, self-mentions, transitions and hedges are frequently used. The analysis demonstrates that all metadiscourse resources seem to stress the interpersonal potential in order to convey a persuasive message under an informative mask. It is also shown that metadiscourse use is genre-constrained and the writer＇s writing purpose.尝试在Hyland的元话语人际模式的框架内,调查分析英语求职语篇中元话语的使用情况和分布特征。结果显示,英语求职语篇中各类元话语资源呈现不均衡的运用频率,其中互动元话语的使用比率明显高于交互元话语。在十类元话语资源的次范畴中,自我提及语、连接语、模糊语呈现的频率较高。研究结果说明了,所有的元话语资源都强调了人际互动潜能。同时也说明了,元话语的使用受其所属的文体限制和作者写作目的影响。
