A diachronic analysis of hedging in non-native authors’ research article abstracts
A growing part of studies on English for academic purpose explores how English is used in non-Anglophone contexts. This article focuses on the under-researched context of Russia, where English has been used as a language of scientific publications only since 2010. The paper explores hedging devices in Russian authors’ research article abstracts from a diachronic perspective. The main focus is on quantitative and qualitative variations in the use of these linguistic means. It is assumed their distribution could change over time. Exploring functions of hedges and suggesting reasons for diachronic changes in their use are other research questions. The weakening intrusion of national Russian criteria of good writing and greater awareness of English academic norms due to the need to publish internationally have influenced hedging patterns in Russian authors’ research article abstracts. The study is based on a corpus of 120 research article abstracts from the field of linguistics published in two Russian journals in 2010-2020. The theoretical framework followed here is Hyland’s (2000) taxonomy of hedges, which offers a pragmatically-grounded method for analyzing hedging in academic discourse
期刊介绍:
CULTURE, LANGUAGE AND REPRESENTATION (CLR) is a biannual scholarly publication devoted to the field of Culture and Linguistics Studies, whose scope is aimed at the international academic community. Alternatively, each issue deals either monographically with a relevant aspect of the linguistic representation of culture in its various manifestations (social, political, educational, literary, historical, etc.) or encourages interdisciplinary and innovative approaches to language and culture research. The Journal is committed to academic and research excellence by publishing relevant and original material that meets high scientific standards. Submission of a paper will be taken to imply that it is unpublished and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Articles will undergo an independent evaluation by two external referees, who will advise the Editors on the suitability of their publication. Publishing elsewhere an article included in CLR needs the author''s acknowledgement that it has first appeared in the Journal. If in doubt, authors are advised to contact The Editors.
