This paper explores the methodological foundations of a corpus-based investigation into metadiscourse markers in EFL master's theses. The key focuses of the study include its validity and reliability, the techniques employed for data analysis, the analytical framework, and the selection of the corpus. The main theoretical basis for the research was Hyland's model of interpersonal metadiscourse. To analyze a specialized corpus of EFL master's theses, AntConc software was utilized. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were employed to examine the frequency and communicative functions of metadiscourse markers within academic discourse.
