Hedging In Academic Writing
Résumé: Academic writing has received a lot of attention in previous decades from scholarsandresearchers from all over the world. The recent studies of hedging in academic writing have argued for its inclusion in EAP syllabi, but they haven't worked from a common understanding of the concept. This study examines and assesses some of the many definitionsand conceptions of the term hedge in the literature. Especially given the fact that hedges areused in Academic writing. To narrow the scope, the main goal is to conduct a detailed analysis of the usage of hedge lists in the concluding sections of academic writing in terms of frequency and effects on genders. To fulfill the goals, a corpus-based study was conducted. As a result, 60 concluding sections divided from the Anglo-American Studies and the Didactics of English Language, both of them were selected from the Algerian Platform national website.The results show that modal auxiliaries were the most frequently used hedging lists in the corpus, whereas nouns were used the least. These findings suggest that curriculum designers, teachers and students should make an effort to familiarize themselves with hedging lists and show their importance in academic writing.
