SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
discussion sections of the articles, while in the method section there was more evidence of temporal markers. The findings of this study could make the syllabus designers and also teachers of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) more aware of the different kinds of discourse markers used in different disciplines and fields of the studies and as a result, help them to increase their readers or students knowledge of discourse markers, an issue which consequently could improve their communicative and also reading and writing skills&Academic writing has always been the focus of many linguistic researchers, especially those who have been involved with English for Academic Purposes (EAP). Discourse marker is one of the language areas which consider how the meaning of sentences is connected to each other. It is believed that teaching students of different disciplines and fields of the studies to use discourse markers effectively in their writings could improve their writing and therefore, help them to better communicate with their audiences. This thesis aimed at comparing the discourse markers used in the three disciplines of humanities, science and medicine. First, ninety articles from fifteen disciplines were chosen: thirty articles from humanities and thirty articles from science and thirty articles from medicine. Then the use of discourse markers in the three sets of the articles was analyzed according to Halliday (1994) framework of conjunctive and modal discourse markers. The results showed that the articles in all three groups tend to use the same number of discourse markers, however, the difference is in the categorical distribution of the discourse markers .Also, it was revealed that additive discourse markers are the most frequent discourse markers in all of the articles. In addition, adversative discourse markers were used more in introduction and results.
