Hedging Expressions in Different Sections of English and Czech Medical Research Articles. A Comparative Study.

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Hedging is a frequent phenomenon occurring both in spoken and written language to modify the strength of propositions and also their directness. This paper analyses occurrence and communicative functions of hedging devices in English and Czech research articles drawn from peer-reviewed medical journals. Since scientific articles are not homogenous in structure, the frequency of hedges in the different sections according to IMRAD format was examined. The research revealed that the most heavily hedged sections in both languages are Discussion and Introduction, followed by Methods in the Czech corpus and by Results in the English corpus. The least heavily hedged section is Results in the Czech articles and Methods in the English ones. However, communicative functions of hedges are the same in both languages.
