Metadiscourse is therefore an integral part of a writer‘s rhetorical arsenal. In this article the author outlines the main types of metadiscourse features and then analyzes the treatment of certain features in student translations. Based on cases analyses and drawing on translation theory, he then highlights some significant shortcomings in students‘ treatment of metadiscourse and proposes some tentative explanations with translator training in mind. 2010 artículo científico 2011-799X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=499267779015 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4992 Mutatis Mutandis.
