This study is a corpus-based study that aims at examining the frequencies and the functions of meta-discourse elements based on Hyland's Meta-discourse theory and ideational meta-function elements based on Hallidayan Systemic Functional Grammar theory in the relatively neglected academic genre of the book reviews by using a computer software. The researcher compares between two different disciplines. These disciplines are chemistry and sociology. In addition to studying the distinctive features of meta-discourse, this study investigates the social relationships that are constructed between the writers and the readers because of using the elements of meta-discourse. Moreover, it investigates the functions that the academic book review writers are trying to perform through their writing which are: organizing their discourse, engaging their readers and conveying their attitude.
