Frame Markers as Metadiscoursal Features in Pakistani English Newspapers’ Editorials: A Corpus-Based Study

Abstract

Frame markers are said to be used as a tool to organize and frame the discourse in a text. This study, therefore, examines the use of frame markers in the newspaper editorials. Being a corpus-based study, it develops the corpora from 1000 editorials published in four Pakistani English language newspapers (250 editorials each) which are (the corpora) analyzed through AntConc 3.4.4.0 following interpersonal model by Hyland (2005). The results indicate that the editorialists in ‘The Frontier’, ‘The Dawn’, ‘The News’, and ‘The Express Tribune’ use frame markers to constitute the meaning contextually in the minds of the readers. However, the editorialists in The Frontier are observed to use frame markers more than any other newspaper in the study. The study also proposes a list of 121 frame markers from Hyland (2005) and textinspector.com which will help the future researchers to study frame markers in different genera
