The discourse of newspaper editorials is meant for opinion building in the
readers through the use of argumentation. The act of convincing audience
requires the provision of opinions with factual data often carried out by
attributing ideas to various sources for building credibility. This crosscultural research looks at the strategy of attribution to sources for argument
building in Pakistani, Malaysian and American newspaper editorials.
Various forms and functions of attribution are uncovered. Attribution is found
to play a significant role in fulfilling argumentation goals in opinion
discourse. The findings of the study are interesting when interpreted in light
of the prevailing extra-linguistic factors in the selected cultures.
