摘　　要：元话语是话语中不可缺少的语言手段,它用于在语篇中搭建文章框架、表达作者态度、实现作者—读者互动。以Hyland的元话语人际模式为理论框架,以学术语篇摘要为具体研究对象,收集英语SCI索引期刊论文摘要90篇、汉语核心期刊摘要90篇,自建小型语料库,采用定量和定性分析研究,结果发现:元话语在英汉摘要中均具有普遍性,英汉作者均大量使用元话语形式来构建文章框架、实现与读者互动的交际目的;同时,英汉摘要中的元话语各次类的使用既有数量上的差异,也有语言形式上的差异,但是英语摘要中的元话语数量显著多于汉语摘要,而且语言形式也有更多变化。这种差异,可能源自英汉不同的语言特点、文化对语言的影响以及学术写作传统三个因素。Metadiscourse is an important and indispensible language form employed to construct texts, express authors＇attitude, and to realize reader-writer interaction in discourses. In this research, we took Hyland＇s Interpersonal Model of metadiscourse as the theoretical framework to contrastively study how metadiscourse is applied and whether there exist any differences in the application in English and Chinese academic texts, from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives. We took abstract- s of petroleum academic papers as the research subjects and built two small corpora by collecting 90 English abstracts from three SCI-indexed journals and 90 Chinese abstracts from three core journals in China. We found that metadiscourse is uni- versal in both English and Chinese abstracts： authors from either language adopt various metadiscourse devices to actualize their interactive as well as interactional purposes. And there exist significant differences in both frequency and linguistic forms between English and Chinese metadiscourse resources, and significantly more metadiscourse devices are used in English abstracts. These differences may result from three factors： different language features, the influences of culture on language and different academic writing traditions.
