چکیده:
This study is a corpus-based study of interactional metadiscourse in natural and social science master theses. For this purpose, 30 natural and social science master theses in six disciplines were randomly selected out of the library of five universities. Five master theses were selected in each discipline, in a period of six years (2010-2016). This study analyzed only the discussion and conclusion sections of master theses. To investigate interactional metadiscourse, Hyland’s (2005) classification was used. The results of this study demonstrated that the percentile proportion of total interactional metadiscourse markers in social science master theses was more than natural science master theses. Among the analyzed resources, hedges were the most frequent role in both corpora while attitude markers in social science and self-mention in natural science were the least favored role. The results of the present study suggested that being aware of interactional metadiscourse markers can shed light on the way of writing of academic texts because these markers help writers to negotiate with their readers and make the text more comprehensible and coherent. The results of the present study might offer pedagogical implication of this aspect of metadiscourse for postgraduate students.

For instance, the critical study of how racist ideologies are structured in "A Dark Brown Dog" needs an in-depth understanding of how class relations operate in the American society as well as a detailed review of the way the whites' racist thinking and practices are affected by their belonging to different social classes; working class, middle-class, and upper class.
The instability of the notions of both racial identity and race relations made of the notion of "generation" at the crossroads of my discussion of how racist ideologies and practices are socially structured in the context of Crane's short story, "A Dark Brown Dog," through my analysis of the differences between the child's and his parents' treatment of the young dog, as the incarnation of a black slave.
The theoretical triangulation of race, social class, and generation for the critical study of racism in Crane's short story "A Dark Brown Dog" These socially constructed ideologies and relations of power are conveyed to the outer world at various levels of the characters' language.
In reality, the connection between these three dimensions - the social, the cognitive, and the discursive (see Van Dijk, 1992, 1995, and 2006) - becomes very important for the critical study of the way racist ideologies of white supremacy and black inferiority are constructed in the text of Carne's "A Dark Brown Dog".
