Abstract: Metadiscourse markers are one of the crucial devices used to construct persuasive power in public speeches due to their roles in organizing the text, indicating the speaker presence, and capturing the audience’ s attention. The goal of this research is to study the use of metadiscourse markers in the State of the Union Addresses delivered by Barack Obama and also the role of the metadiscourse markers. The data of this study involved eight addresses of the State of the Union between 2009 and 2016. The data analysis was drawn on Hyland’s (2005) classification of metadiscourse markers. Quantitative analysis revealed that Barack Obama’s State of the Union Addresses featured markedly more interactional metadiscourse markers than those of interactive markers. Textual analysis further indicated that the former was used in an attempt to express his attitude, engage listeners and create solidarity rather than guide listeners to follow each issue in the addresses. This could be seen through the greatest use of self-mentions, e.g. referential pronouns.
