• W2380395539 abstract "Academic texts are no longer perceived as mere neutral accounts of factual information; they are currently viewed as socially constructed rhetorical artefacts which aim at negotiating and persuading the reader. As a result, there has been growing interest in hedging as a useful rhetorical resource used to realize this communicative function within academic writing. However, despite the plethora of studies on hedging in the various academic genre types (e.g. textbooks, conference paper presentations, examiners’ reports), it is probably the research article (henceforth, RA) which has been explored most extensively in the literature. Secondly, largely focusing on RAs, the literature on hedging primarily discusses how the concept is organized (i.e. the lexico-grammatical forms) in different disciplines and across different rhetorical sections, paying little or no attention to its discourse functions though the underlying motivation for the use of hedging in the enactment of academic texts has been well articulated. Thus, using Hyland’s (1998) Poly-pragmatic Model, the present study investigates the discourse functions of hedges in English and Chemistry Masters’ Theses in the University of Cape Coast. It further explores the differences regarding the discourse functions hedges perform in both disciplines. The study, which is both qualitative and quantitative in nature, reveals that hedging in English and Chemistry Masters’ Theses perform three pragmatic functions and that the preference for these functions, to some extent, varies in both disciplines due to a number of factors. The study has a pedagogical implication." @default.
