Abstract


This study aims at discussing the type of metadiscourse markers and explain the metadiscourse used in Thunberg’s speeches. This study used qualitative method to describe the types and the function of metadiscourse markers in Greta Thunberg’s speeches. The result shows that there are interactive and interactional metadiscourse in the speeches. Interactive metadiscourse markers in the speech are transition, frame marker, endophoric marker and code gloss. Transition became the highest marker, because transition is conjunction that functions to coherent and to relate between argument with another argument. Meanwhile, interactional metadiscourse markers in the speech are hedges, booster, attitude marker, engagement marker, and self-mention. In the interactional category, engagement and self-mention are dominant, because the engagement marker helps Thunberg to build a relationship with the audience and address the audience into the discourse, while when to express her opinion and to emphasize herself as a speaker in personal responsibility for the argument, Thunberg used self-mention marker.
