| Tiivistelmä: | This article explores how CEOs attempt to influence readers and project a positive personal and corporate image in company annual reports. It examines the role of metadiscourse, as a manifestation of the writer's linguistic and rhetorical presence in a text, to show how CEOs use non-propositional material to realize rational, credible, and affective appeals. The findings are based on a close textual and linguistic analysis of 137 CEOs' letters drawn from a range of international and Hong Kong companies. |
