To carry out this study it was used Hyland’s (2004) taxonomy Metadiscourse, and this study was focus in the chapter five of ten theses. The main purpose of this study was to have an overview of the use of metadiscourse markers by both communities, as well as compare their use, and analyze the use of the metadiscourse items. The results suggest that non-native speakers, who used English as a foreign language, used more metadiscourse markers in both categories: textual and interpersonal. This could be an effort by non-native speakers to enhance coherence, and organize their discourse. They also overused the same item several times and they do not have a wide range of varied metadiscourse items in each subcategory. These results are important at least in this context to comprehend how ELT are using metadiscourse markers.”pdfspaHUMANIDADES Y CIENCIAS DE LA CONDUCTATesis y disertaciones académicasAnálisis del discurso literarioComunicación escritaAutoríaAdquisición de segunda lenguaTesis de licenciaturaopenAccess
