Frame markers are said to be used as a tool to organize and
frame the discourse in a text. This study, therefore, examines
the use of frame markers in the newspaper editorials. Being a
corpus-based study, it develops the corpora from 1000
editorials published in four Pakistani English language
newspapers (250 editorials each) which are (the corpora)
analyzed through AntConc 3.4.4.0 following interpersonal
model by Hyland (2005). The results indicate that the
editorialists in ‘The Frontier’, ‘The Dawn’, ‘The News’, and
‘The Express Tribune’ use frame markers to constitute the
meaning contextually in the minds of the readers. However,
the editorialists in The Frontier are observed to use frame
markers more than any other newspaper in the study. The
study also proposes a list of 121 frame markers from Hyland
(2005) and textinspector.com which will help the future
researchers to study frame markers in different genera
