Hedges as writer protective devices in applied linguistics and literary criticism research articles

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper presents the results of a small-scale comparative study carried out on a corpus of research articles in two scientific fields ? applied linguistics and literary criticism. The analysis was based on a revised classification of Hyland (1998) andDontcheva-Navratilova (2009) and with special regard to the role they play in reader-writer interaction. The aim of the investigation was to determine which features in the text function as writer-protective, i.e. hedging writer commitment to the propositional content of the message, and to what extent these features differ in the examined texts. The results of the study show that there are significant differences in both the variety and frequency of use of hedges in applied linguistics and literary criticism research articles, which suggests that there is a connection between particular types of hedges and differences in the type of argumentation and interaction with the intended readership in the two respective communities.
