چکیده | ||
The modern digital era has made scientific knowledge more available to the lay audience crafting immediate access to the latest discoveries. This study aimed to investigate how interactive metadiscourse markers contributed to organizing and presenting ideas in popular science subgenres, including books, TV documentaries, magazine articles, and newspaper articles, to create engaging and accessible content for a lay audience. A corpus of 987,625 words was analyzed using AntConc, with Hyland’s (2019) Interpersonal Model guiding the identification of marker frequency. The findings revealed 75,477 instances of interactive markers, with transitions and code glosses being the most frequently used. The analysis highlights both similarities and differences in marker usage across subgenres, illustrating how these tools shape content organization and engagement strategies. This study emphasizes the importance of developing explicit EAP/ESP resources to help language instructors and novice researchers, especially non-English L1 speakers, understand the rhetorical roles of interactive markers. Such resources can enhance genre-specific writing practices and improve audience engagement in the context of popular science discourse. | ||

چکیده [English] | ||
عصر دیجیتال مدرن دانش علمی را برای مخاطبان عمومی در دسترستر کرده و دسترسی فوری به جدیدترین اکتشافات را فراهم آورده است. این پژوهش با هدف بررسی نحوه کمک نشانگرهای فرامتنی تعاملی به سازماندهی و ارائه ایدهها در زیرژانرهای علمی عمومی از جمله کتابها، مستندهای تلویزیونی، مقالات مجلات و مقالات روزنامهها انجام شده است تا محتوایی جذاب و قابلدسترس برای مخاطبان عمومی ایجاد کند. یک مجموعه متنی شامل ۹۸۷،۶۲۵ کلمه با استفاده از نرمافزار AntConc تحلیل شد و مدل بینافردی هایلند) ۲۰۱۹ (برای شناسایی فراوانی نشانگرها مورد استفاده قرار گرفت. یافتهها ۷۵،۴۷۷ مورد از نشانگرهای تعاملی را نشان دادند که در این میان، نشانگرهای انتقال و توضیحات کدی بیشترین استفاده را داشتند. تحلیلها شباهتها و تفاوتهای استفاده از این نشانگرها در زیرژانرهای مختلف را برجسته میکند و نشان میدهد که این ابزارها چگونه بر سازماندهی محتوا و راهبردهای تعامل تأثیر میگذارند. این مطالعه بر اهمیت توسعه منابع صریح EAP تأکید دارد تا به مدرسان زبان و پژوهشگران نوپا، بهویژه افرادی که زبان اول آنها انگلیسی نیست، در درک نقشهای بلاغی نشانگرهای تعاملی کمک کند. چنین منابعی میتوانند به بهبود نگارش در ژانرهای خاص و ارتقاء تعامل با مخاطبان در گفتمان علمی عمومی کمک کنند | ||
