HEDGING AND MEANS OF ITS REALIZATION IN THE ENGLISH SCIENTIFIC DISCOURSE
Journal Title: Південний архів (філологічні науки) - Year 2018, Vol 75, Issue
Abstract
The article is devoted to the investigation of hedging as a way of etiquettization of the English scientific discourse. Hedging is actualized by multilevel language means used for mitigation of criticism, categoricalness of uttering of a scientific thought, improvement of effectiveness of scientific communication, keeping face of the addressee of the discourse safe. Performatives, modal words with meanings of necessity, suggestion, doubt, as well as lexical approximators and means of expressing of non-categorical objection are hedges of the English scientific discourse.
