Abstract

Audience-oriented metadiscourse demonstrates the speaker’s self-reflexive awareness to the audience’s existence, ideas, and attitudes during the communication process, yet there is a scarcity of literature to carry out detailed studies based on corpus. From the perspective of metapragmatics, with the international news program Leaders Talk as the corpus, the study explores the categories of audience-oriented metadiscourse used by hosts, which aims to reveal the metapragmatic awareness embodied in the audience-oriented metadiscourse. The study has found that hosts often use expressions containing the personal pronoun “you” and the audience “we” to highlight the audience existence and choose rhetorical questions to predict audience expectations and trigger audiences to think. The research findings provide certain enlightenment for related metadiscourse researches and for the enhancement of international discourse construction practices.
